Hmm You'll know me as Mokkelke on the internet, some tend to call me Mo, others know my real name and call me Tan or Tanja. Having decided I will go the self publish route with SIW (and started working on the writing part of that) I do realize that Mokkelke isn't really THE catching name you want to see on the cover of a book. IMO it's fine to use on Lit and similar sites but when you want to go for the masses I believe a somewhat more recognizable pen name would be more fitting.
So which one should or could I take? Anyone has suggestion ideas? I'm open for about anything if it has a nice ring to it. Full name being Tanja Jonckheer. I'd say have a try, brainstorm and post suggestions.
About Me
- Mokkelke/Tanja
- @ home, behind my computer, Belgium
- I'm a rookie writer enjoying the flow of words sprouting out of my fingers. Sometimes it goes easy, at other times it's a real struggle. I love and crave any kind of feedback, good or bad. I write when I can, but a husband, two kids, 4.2 cats (aging from 15 years to 4 months) do take up most of my time. Yet I found the time to try out something I never thought I was good at. I started writing. I came to love it and enjoy the new friendships I've made with fellow writers I simply adore (well I like the writers, but adore their work *grins*)
What about Tanja Heer short but keeping part of your full name or short and sweet Tan Jon but it sounds more like a male name
ReplyDeleteor to make it sound exotic like Tanja Mokke keeping a little of your writers name as well as real one
well it is a couple of suggestions anyway
Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I'll keep them in mind.
