Pseudonym List
"Celebrating my 32nd year in this Sordid Business
1973-2005"
Notes: Some guy in England tracked down my listing in the Internet Writers'
Guide, and the next thing I know I'm looking up all the damned things, trying to piece
together various and sundry (there has never been a master list -- I'm usually more
concerned with keeping body & soul together to attempt to put together the Smithsonian
Retrospective on the Various Misdeeds of Your Humble Correspondent.) But since he gets it,
it doesn't seem fair not to let you see what strange Englishmen can manage to wheedle out
of me. Doggoned politeness! Not used to it here in the States. What can I say?
Well, one thing. Sturgeon
told me to never write anything that I was ashamed of, and it wouldn't ever come back to
haunt me. "And it WILL," he said. "I promise you that." If I did that,
he said, wise sage that he was, I would not be afraid to own up to anything I'd ever
written. And I'm not. [Sadly, Ted is remembered, generally, ONLY as the "guy who
wrote that episode of the original STAR TREK where Spock goes into heat!" hw]
Please note: I didn't say I'd make it EASY for you.
