I can't remember if it was Jilli or Miracleman who first came up with "Whimsy McDumbname" for describing names such as Ravenmoon Isis Stardancer.

I want to be known as Kills Purple Fuzzy Dinosaurs.

Oooh. Sounds like it could have been either one of them.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
When Madrigal asked if I was Astarte Rainbow (from another board, I guess) I actually snorted to myself.
Nope, not me...
I like complexity and contrast, but I'm not big with the oxymoron names, and that is definitely one.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I started it way back in 2001. I barely touched it at all for months at a time, during the Great Job Search Angst of 2002. It's flawed, it's a first effort, and will need plenty of hard work before it's ready for public consumption. But...
I did it. I wrote a novel. I finished what I started, proved I had it in me, proved I'm not just a quitter, that I can push past my own laziness and fears. I wrote a BOOK.
No force in the 'verse can stop me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Rock on, Susan.
