Sebastiana Telphusa.
That was the name I conjured to be my pen name way back in high school when I day dreamed about becoming a writer.
I thought the name sounded sophisticated. Cosmopolitan. Like I lived in Paris instead of podunk Winfield.
I practiced signing it over and over again, making sure the flourish of my contrived name looked just so. Not too much flourish otherwise the name would be illegible. But just enough to give it a je ne sais quoi kind of allure.
I know. Ridiculous.
But now I really do need a pen name.
Any suggestions?
