annathepiperAs y'all might have guessed from my entry from yesterday, the issue of whether to use a pen name in this here writing career I am trying to launch is very present on my mind. Foremost in this issue is the difficulty of spelling "Korra'ti" and how hard it might be for people to do Google searches to find out more about my books. There's also the annoying fact that if I used my actual name, I couldn't have it spelled properly in a domain name because you can't have apostrophes in a domain name. So I'm seriously considering whether I should use a pen name, and I'm interested in your all's thoughts!
I'm considering pulling in some combination of the following elements, if I do:
1) My first name vs. my traditional nickname vs. my original middle name: "Angela" vs. "Anna" vs. "Renée"
2) My maiden name, "Highland"
3) My mother's maiden name, "Sherer"
4) My maternal grandmother's maiden name, "Carey"
5) My paternal grandmother's maiden name, "Amerine"
