So, my state library association just posted the following: "Your romance writer name is the name of the last flower you saw plus the last desert you ate".
So, mine is Petunia Gevuld Koekje. Would you buy my books?
(ps, if you've never had dutch gevuld koekjes you should really try one!)

My Romance Writer Name, while incomplete, would be Angelonia Augustifolia xxxxxx.
Why is it incomplete?
It is incomplete because I refuse to eat a desert.
Those things are just too dry and too gritty for me.
And, then there is the question of why--in some peoples' minds-- every statement nowadays apparently MUST begin with the word "so".

Now, what's YOUR name?
And you did not fix it for them?
I guess I would go for Rose Namibia?
So, I haven't been to a desert for so long that I've forgotten how to spell the word. And so my mistake was in the writing forum, no less so! So, I'm SO embarrassed! So at least I have gevuld koekjes on hand for dessert to soak up my tears!
SO (said with my Minnesota haaard ohw), have some ice cream for dessert and chill out, Retriever! Regionalisms keep languages alive. (Actually, if I was really writing hard core Minnesotan, all of my "so" words would have been followed or preceded by "then." As in, "So then, the hot dish we had while the kids played duck duck grey duck was pretty good then. So.")
