So I'm sitting at Starbucks and a random thought came to my head: how do I want my name to be printed? I have a few options with just my real name alone.
Last year for NaNo when I actually made a cover for my novel, I put myself as S. Elizabeth Davis. Currently, I'm not feeling it. Like at all. I don't think it flows the way I want it to or originally thought.
And I'm definitely for sure wanting to use my married name because I hate my maiden name with a fiery passion and can't want to legally change it next month. (23 DAYS!).
I've been thinking something like Sarah Davis or Sarah E. Davis. Simple. And I need simplicity in my life. I've never, ever thought of using a pen name.
Okay, so I just Googled both "Sarah Davis" and "Sarah E. Davis". Apparently "Sarah Davis" is a children's author in Australia. Well, that's the end of that one.
I also have the option to use "Sarah B. Davis". (The B standing for my maiden name.)
I know this is a silly thing to worry about something so simple as a name, but names are very important to me. I take extra care when naming a character, so why not take the extra care while naming myself. This would be something that I would be stuck with, so I have to make sure I like it.
I have asked the future husband. He seems to like Sarah E. Davis. Though he doesn't seem to care either way. So I guess that's it. I guess that was easier than I though.
