Pen names

by David Castanho
5th May 2014

Hi writers,

I have two questions I wanted to ask you, what are the best pen names you can come up with and if there is any point in a pen name? ( I want my pen name to be Theodore) and if you are writing in third person which tense is better for the readers?

Thank you

David, you can use any of your favourite character's names from books or movies u love or those akin to your own personality.

Although Theodore is good too. Little mystical and ancient kind of, it is eye catching.

For the second question, you can go through these links.

1. The point in Pen Name is when you want a cool name for yourself.... Like my pen name is Siva(My family calls me that)

2. It depends on what the story timeline is...

3. I can't come up with any pen names for the moment, but Theodore is nice :)
