A Most Unreliable Narrator Issue #140.25 link update
Dear Internet,
Since I assume you all wait with baited breath every week and click on my links (not really), I need to have an update as the writing link from today’s missive is broken.
In my most current writing newsletter, I talk about nom de plumes:
But one gone means another rise in its place. I came up with two non de plumes over the weekend that I really liked and just created Gmail accounts for them but that’s it. One is a variation of my mother’s middle name and my paternal grandmother’s maiden name, which is Scottish. The other is a name from one of my favorite fictional characters (from a very problematic book, boo) with a Scottish last name. I really like Best Kate’s last name but that would have been too creepy to use as a nom de plume. (I have a thing for Scottish last names.)
And
There is nothing wrong with my government name, it’s a good and sturdy name I’ve had for 50 years but stuff from the case still shows up after all these years and I don’t think I’m ever going to get rid of the taint that surrounds me.
A piece I wrote sometime ago I submitted to a lit mag this weekend under one of my aliases. I’m afraid if my government name was attached, it would drag up all the hatred when the case occurred.
ALL OF THIS IS TO SAY: Since I’m juggling at least two names, I choose to update my writing website’s name and writing newsletter to reflect those changes.
(Sweet fucking irony: EVEN THOUGH I have an alias, the writing website reflects both names and their stories.)
Thus the correct links are:
Sorry invisible bffs!
