Think About Using a Pen Name

Professional writers use pen names more often than most folks imagine. There is an up side to crafting material and putting a name other than your own in the byline. When looking into factors contributing to success, this one sticks out as a big one.
 
Some great examples to put out there are J. K. Rowlings and Stephen King. Surprisingly both these wealthy well known writers elected to use a pen name. Although the motives behind the decision are different for everyone, there are more than a few which are the same.

Swapping out the name given at birth for another is a personal decision. Take a look into the disadvantages as well as the advantages to transforming to another person on paper. Whether the choice is made in order to stand out or be noticed or even hide, it is not something to be taken lightly.  
For more than a few writers it turned into a positive factor in a career

Moving is something I love

Thanks for the guest post by Donn Schroeder Moving isn’t something that most people like to do for fun but  real estate is my business so I feel like I spend a lot of time packing boxes and calling moving companies to come in and move my stuff around. I sure do like the feeling when everything’s unpacked, though, and I get to make a place my own again! I found my most recent place in the winter last year when home prices are particularly low and I bought for a great price so I’ve had a lot of money to make upgrades and such. I painted all the rooms professionally and I went to http://ExpertSatellite.com  to see about satellite which has made living here a lot more fun at least! I don’t really want to sell it but I know I have to when the market turns around because that’s how I make my money but who knows, maybe I’ll get to stay in this little bungalow for a few years to come…wouldn’t that be the nicest thing ever!
