Hi, there,
I'm newish here. I have been writing, on and off, for ages. Recently, I've been trying to "buckle down" and actually finish one of my manuscripts, and I've been contemplating using a pen name. My real name, both first and last, are pretty dang common, enough so that I once got the report card of another girl, among other "mistaken identity" issues I've dealt with. Also, as I'd like to someday write straight fantasies, should I maybe choose one pen name for romance, and a different one for fantasies? Any advice on choosing a good/ memorable pen name?
