Thanks, Clarke. I must admit Collide isn't my "real" name. But it was chosen with care. Wrote about it not that long ago, if you're curious: collidepress.substack.c…
As for this roller derby of life, it keeps rolling right round, baby, right round, like a record baby. Sometimes the record is full of scratches. Just like us. :-p

Oh, I gathered that. Thanks for the link, I'm reading with interest. Some of the best writers wrote under a nomme de plume (sp?). Um, Lewis Carroll anyone? (I learned to read through my oldest brother reading the "Alice" books to me over and over. Really irritated my primary school teachers.) Sometimes a record plays to the end and the needle is stuck on a circular track with static on repeat. Often one's circumstances feel a lot like that.
You made me Google! I’m sure one of it’s spellings includes some extra letters, but “nom de plume” is definitely a thing in the arts. Helps so many of us find our voices and play without everybody all up in our business. lol
