\"Craigs'<\/a>I recently put out the call for guest columnists <\/strong><\/a>and the submissions have started to trickle in!<\/p>\n

Bobbye showed up with this piece about pseudonyms that made me laugh and cringe (to the truth of it)! Ah! The life of today’s writer!<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy it, too! Let me know! Comments welcome below!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, life was simple. Okay, it never was, but it was less complicated than now. When I first began writing, I wrote only as Terry Campbell, one writing name, no confusion. One genre, short romantic contemporary. E-mail wasn\u2019t as important and blogs barely existed, along with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Ning, etc. Self-publishing was frowned upon. Electronic publishing was in its infancy and was trashed by many print-publishers and authors. I still have the scars to prove it (despite the fact I was also print published by a big house).<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to current day and witness the schizophrenic person I am today. I\u2019d decided to write solo and needed to make decisions about pseudonyms. Additionally, I had to plan how to spend my time. What I did is outlined here. Take what helps and throw away the rest\u2014and please don\u2019t judge my sanity. I haven\u2019t been declared incompetent yet.<\/p>\n

Pseudonyms. Do I or don\u2019t I?<\/strong>
\nTo quote from part of my poem, Schizophrenia<\/em>:<\/p>\n

We often write with pseudonyms,
\nAnd I can be a guy named Jim,
\nOr I could be a girl named Sue,
\nSo no one knows which gender\u2019s true.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many writers have multiple writing personas \u2014 should I write as myself, Bobbye Terry, or under a pseudonym? Should I write in one genre or more? If more than one genre, do I need more than one name? Oh, the decisions! Please bring the meds \u2026 ah, much better. For me, I initially thought I should leave my own name alone, but then discovered many references existed under Bobbye Terry, \u201chalf of the writing team of Terry Campbell.\u201d I\u2019d blown my cover.<\/p>\n

Next, what to write? Half my time would be spent writing fantasy and half writing suspense. To me, it made sense that my real name should be my mystery name and the fantasy books would be written by a fantasy person. How should I pick that name? I determined it shouldn\u2019t be too long and the first name should be gender-neutral. For fantasy, how about Daryn? It had a female twist but would leave you guessing. The last name? My books all dealt with the war against evil and the victory of light over dark. What better last name than Cross? If it were good enough for James Patterson\u2019s hero, it was good enough for me. Then I needed to do a Google and Amazon search to make sure few if any real people existed with the name and none had a book listed.<\/p>\n

How to Spend My Time and Where?<\/strong>
\nI quickly realized I couldn\u2019t spend all my time marketing and creating a buzz if I were going to have books to sell. I\u2019m fortunate–I write quickly and without much plotting. Please don\u2019t call me an organic writer. Soil is organic, not me. However I still had to make some of those agonizing decisions. Okay, I wouldn\u2019t try to write every day on my blog, but I would have two, one as Bobbye Terry and one as Daryn Cross. I would always admit to using both names, unlike some of my writer pals who shall remain nameless, but I\u2019d be clear that Bobbye Terry wrote mystery and Daryn Cross wrote fantasy. One person can live with only so much schizophrenia. To keep the blogs interesting, I\u2019d enter a couple of blogfests a month and also solicit guest bloggers and interviews.<\/p>\n

Next, I\u2019d make a conscious effort to tweet regularly but not spend more than a half-hour a day on Twitter. Facebook I left as a spot for commiserating with friends and making announcements. Twitter worked better for me. It was fast. I decided to stay on a gazillion listservs, but only answer them as I could. If time permitted, I\u2019d answer more. I also set a minimum for writing per day to 1500 words, a manageable amount to keep me on track.<\/p>\n

End result: <\/em>After a year-and-a-half, I have one book out and nine books coming out this year, five novels and four novellas. I will also have short stories in five anthologies. So far, one novel is scheduled for 2012, but I have an excellent chance of at least two more being scheduled in the next two months. It just goes to show a little planning and determination can go a long way. You can do it too, but I can\u2019t promise you won\u2019t become as schizo as I am.<\/p>\n
