Weekend Assignment #159

 

From JohnScalzi, the Blogfather, we have a new Weekend Assignment #159: Your Pen Name

You've decided to become a writer under a pen name. What pen name do you choose?  Because, after all, writers use pen names all the time -- sometimes to maintain anonymity, sometimes to start a new career when their writing career under their real name has crashed and burned, and sometimes just because they want a different name than the one they were born with. You can assume any of the reasons for taking up a pen name. (No fair using a name that's taken: Your pen name can't be "Steve King" or "Jonathan Grisham" or some such.)

Hmm..  I think I would go by my intials from my maiden name, JAC with my married last name, Langley.  Jack Langley, or J.A.C. Langley, or maybe just Jackie Langley.  Or may be I should just go for Jules Langley.  It sounds so British and proper---a name used for a man or a woman, like Jack.  Or..  I might just skip that all together and just go by J. A. Costa.  It's sometimes good to add a little mystery to a name; I think.  Hmm...decisions, decisions..  I must work on this one. 

Extra Credit: Using this Anagram Maker, share an amusing anagram of your name.

Oh, this was fun!  Here is one using my full name!  Oh joy, just call me:

OLE JINGLY NUN!!
