I used to plan about going under a pen name but I couldn't be bothered to think of something so I'm just Jane Maree. aka my first name and middle name.<br />Sometimes I do double takes when I see my last name somewhere online because I go "Wait what--oh yeah...that's my name. haha. Totally didn't forget that."

But then when you had your blog, I was like, "Am I pronouncing it wrong?" <br /><br />But I think it works as both in the neutral name category. It makes you stand out. :DIvie Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07078528126219230207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389860804298839217.post-90484428841473491392018-01-04T14:04:58.648-05:002018-01-04T14:04:58.648-05:00I know, right?

XD <br /><br />I've only three of my real life friends by choice about my blog, one because she was one of my closest friends, the second because his mom was asking me questions about blogging in front of him, so he pestered me to tell him why and now he teases me about it a lot. :P<br />And the third because he's a huge geek and I needed help on learning HTML. <br /><br />My initials are the same as mine irl too!

And I relate to the anonymous blogger thing because I didn't want creeps and certain people from my past to try and make their way into my life when I'm a super famous author. (If I become a super famous author. I want to stay positive. XD) <br /><br />I don't actually type my real name when I refer to my real name. I'll say something like:<br /><br />Then I tell myself, "Horrible job, {insert my real name here}."<br /><br />Thankfully I have yet to slip. I feel like Ivie is just as normal as saying my real name. I don't know if that's healthy, though. I must be a split personality. <br /><br />*ominous music* XDIvie Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07078528126219230207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389860804298839217.post-1029112717367842022018-01-04T11:42:27.512-05:002018-01-04T11:42:27.512-05:00Way too true, MK.
