I'm playing 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring' for our Christmas Eve service at our church. I have, oh, a few weeks to learn it perfectly (including the chords for when I fade into the background a bit) and to be able to play it alongside a guitar. Major stress? You bet.
You know, I really wanted a quiet Christmas this year.
One where I can just flop down underneath the Christmas tree and watch the halos around the lights, and then suddenly remember that Jesus came. So then I'd shout 'HALLELUJAH!' and then watch the angel on the tree give me a really odd look.
You guys are probably giving me odd looks right now too.
Random Question:
Which pseudonym (or pen name) do you prefer: Heaven Silverring or Yors Trooly?

Pseudonyms
{also known as aliases and pen-names}
Reasons to publish a book under a pseudonym:
1. If your books become really famous, you can say your real name without having to fear screaming fans requesting autographs. =)
2. You don't have to deal with people befriending you just because they know you're famous.
3. If someone is mad at you for publishing a book (say it has something controversial in it) they can't track you down as easily. Okay...creepy.
4. It gives you more privacy in general.
5. You can use the name you've always wanted to be called. =)
Two famous books that were published by people under pseudonyms are Alice in Wonderland (author's pen-name was Lewis Carrol) and Animal Farm (the author went by George Orwell)
I think I will publish under a pseudonym. I was toying with the idea for a bit, but now I decided I will. But I'm absolutely stumped as to what my pseudonym will be.
What do you guys think should be my real name?
(igirl, I know that you know my real name, so just think what you would have named me) =)
Actually, what would be really interesting to know is what do you picture me to look like. =)
Just throw out ideas that you guys think would suit my personality. I would really appreciate it!
Oh, and tell me if it's okay with you if I use the name you suggested. I know that if I made up a cool name I wouldn't want someone to take it without my permission.
