Re: Interesting article
Good on you Neville
I am always willing to be taught. What topic are you considering at the moment. Our 'homework' this week is 'the blind man's dog' and for the month we have. 'sticky tape is always handy'. Now if you have seen Greg North's 'sticky Tape' it makes it hard to think of anything else. I have finished a short 'blind man's dog' but so far no ideas about sticky tape.
We had a poem from Kate (formerly of Cornwall) last week. Nice to hear from her.

Re: Interesting article
Bob, I think using a pen name is like cosmetic ' beauty ' surgery, trying to improve or enhance what is naturally there. Or like the blokes who wear a hairpiece, what naturally isn't there.
I reckon just let nature take it's course.
The name your parent's gave should be adequate, that's just my way of looking at things. I could be wrong.

Re: Interesting article
An interesting question that.
What is a Non de Plume, or what is a nick name
Now I get called Bushie, The old Battler, bugger lugs, Bill, Pop, Dad, Grand pa
Now I answer to all of them and a few more unprintable one as well are they not Non de Plumes. Or is Non de Plume only a written name

Re: Interesting article
(nom di PLOOHM)
French for “pen name”; an invented name under which an author writes. Mark Twain was the nom de plume of Samuel L. Clemens. A nom de plume is something that the Author or perhaps the publisher chooses for a writer/poet
Totally different from a nick name which is something others usually tag you with , sometimes but not always done as a gesture of affection. Depends on how thin skinned or insecure you are as to how you react to it.
