With some of her saved up allowance, my granddaughter, Olivia, recently bought a journal and special pen. Once home, she asked her mom to write the name ‘Brenda Myers’ on a small piece of paper and tape the paper to her pen. When Elizabeth asked why, Olivia replied something about learning that writers have pen names. And so she had chosen the name Brenda Myers for her new pen.
Yes. That’s right. A pen name. I just might have to give one of my pens a name too. Stay tuned.
Adorable. Why didn’t any of us think of that? ❤️
We’ve lost that capacity of the poetry that comes from looking
at the world from a literal perspective.
This is so sweet — and what a smart granddaughter you have! I like the idea of pen names too.
Love that Olivia wanted a pen name, she sounds like one very bright young lady.
I love how kids hear something and define from their very concrete
experience of reality.
Debra, this is sooooo cute! Love how Olivia interpreted “Pen name.” Kids are wonderful, aren’t they? And especially grandkids!
