Nom de Plume

So, I figured that if I am to become a serious writer, I need a nom de plume: a pen name. I thought not all too hard and long for a name that would be suitable and mean something to me. I came up with:

S.s fratello

The first "S" stands for [Seymour], a name that describes the older side of me, simply because it reminds my sister's friend of an old man name. Seymour is my "ego", the parent side(coined by Freud, who discussed the id, the ego, and the superego.) Seymour keeps me in line....that is when I listen to it....

The second "s" stands for [Sillard], the artsy side of me who wants to create and has no limitations. Seymour keeps Sillard in check.

Fratello is whimsical and freethinking and spontaneous beyond degree. It never listens to Seymour, my parent personality. It instead sides with Sillard, the spontaneous freethinker. So, you do the math: Two against one. My artsy spontaneous freethinking wins [most] of the time; but I still decide to keep Seymour around.

So, there you have it: S.s fratello. My nom de plume.


Signed,

S.s fratello
