I want to. If so, it would be the name you see on your screen now; Ephona. With something at the end. Still figuring that out XD

Most publisher give you the option...but send your writing first. Alot of what I've read abotu publishing mention nogt priding your work enough to have your name on it.
Well, my name is Seth, I just don't want to say my last name . . . Maybe I will say "W. Seth" bcuz i go by my middle name.
i like my real name, thank you very much :) heehee. plus i can't think of a good pen name, anyway.
Hmm ... I've thought of it. But I think I'm too selfish to write under a pen name. The thought of walking into a bookstore and seeing my name on the shelf.... *sighs contentedly* XD
You need to send works to a publisher under your given name so they know who to write the check to.I'm partial to the first name Ophelia. But I really would like to see my own name in lights.
Uuuuuuhhhhh I tried thinking of a pen name and totally failed. I don't know if I even want one really . . .
I just want Ephona in my name cause I love it. I could like sneak it in for my last or middle name...XDRanelle Ephona...hm...
I will not write under a pen name. I adore my first name--plus it's, you know, ME.
Also, my last name is... ironic. I refuse to put it on the internet, though, so you guys don't get to know it until I'm published and my name is on the book. :D
but Mckenzie... you know my last name, so you can see the irony in it, can't you? And don't go around giving them hints, because the only possible hint to give makes it REALLY obvious what my last name is, and, again, I don't want that on the internet.

LOL. Yeah, and your name on the book there! Tee-hee. That rocks. Me is jealous of your last name. My last name is long and EVERYONE pronounces it wrong the first time. Oh well ... maybe I should consider a pen name. XD
Your last name ISN'T hard to pronounce. People are just lazy and don't pay attention when they read names. I mean, you can literally sound your last name out, Mckenzie.
I think if I do (somehow) get published I would prefer using a pen name. I wouldn't want people at work to know that I've written anything, especially if I decide to use them for inspiration. It'll be weird, ehehehe
Yeah, I know. I just hate going, "no! E-G-A-R at the end, not I-G-E-R." Or reminding them it's T-E-R at the beginning, not T-W-I. XD
LOL, Maryse. That's why I tend to not base my characters on people, unless they let me. I even try to stay away from using people's names.
my last name's pretty easy to pronounce.
I can't think of a pen name....otherwise I would use one maybe something like Liza Martin or Mina Rose :)

My name is super easy= Paige Miller. The only problem i ever have is those morons who go, is it P-A-G-E? And I'm like no, it's PAIGE!!!!

I know a lot of people named Paige. They all say the same thing. XD
