hi my name is....

My A4 class all sat in the computer lab thinking of our pen names...
They all had spectacular names with meaning and purpose.
Or maybe not even that, they just sounded intelligent, or like they were about to drop some unreal writing into Paris.
I remember asking Nelson..
"I want my blog name to be inspiring.."
His answer was..
"Your pen name isn't going to inspire people it will be what you write."

If you really knew me, you would know that I am a fly by the seat of your pants kind of person.
IF you really knew me you would know that I have a heart full of love and the last person I am thinking about is myself.
If you really knew me you would know that I love giving people a good laugh.
If you really knew me...you would know that while I sat there in that writing lab this is what went through my head.

"Okay..my blog name will be the first thing name that pops into my head.."
Well the first name to pop into my head was Ronda..
And if any of you really know me you would know that that would be a dead give away.
So unfortunantly the second name to pop into my head was..Agatha.

So I said what the heck and put it in.

I had no idea it was going to effect my amount of readers or the amount of comments I got on my posts.
I feel as though the people who's blogs were read had ellequint and saficticated names.
My name made me look like a tourist.
But I am not a tourist.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
I think that is one of the reasons I was never afraid to show who I was before we revealed all of this.
I think that's why I write like I talk.
Everyone could pick out who I was like a sore thumb.

The pen names really shouldn't have effected how you wrote.
This big reveale shouldn't determaine wheather you delete that heartfelt post or not.
We all enjoyed this jouney in paris together.
 And it was a pleasure getting to know the other side of all of you. so..

Hi My Name Is Alyssa Wilde
