Pen Name or Name of My Pen?

Tweet

Lately, my friends have been telling me that I should be thinking about pen names. At first I thought they wanted me to name my pens. I can't help it if these slender dispensers of ink kept wandering off of my desk. Then it was pointed out that, if I ever begin serious writing, I will need a pseudonym - a pen name. Ok, then. Even if you look at the pretty picture of the author on the book, knowing his name doesn't make him (or her) less anonymous, does it? So I'll use that then for my pen name: Anon A. Mus. Catchy, eh?
