As I sit in my fishbowl (aka my office) and stare across the hall through Chip’s window, I realize today is a wasted work day. Sure I’ve done some work–but if I’m truly being honest–I pretty much pissed the day away.
Oh well. Such is life.
I have an early morning tomorrow since check in for the 5K is at 7:15. Yes, I’m voluntarily getting out of bed on a Saturday before 8 a.m. to exercise. Somebody take my temperature. Something just ain’t right.
Alright, alright. I know you don’t care about that shit. You are only here to give me an opinion. Really, how self important of you.
Okay, so I’m buying some domain names so that the Fishdog can get to work on my new website. I currently have a very old and outdated site: McKenzieFrancis.com We’re gonna update the look to fit my current writing and to reflect my YA books. (Bite Me! and untitled book 2, HarperCollins, coming not so soon, to a bookstore near you!)
I want to write under the name Melissa McKenzie Francis and that domain name is available in both dot com and dot net. I’m not sure if I can write under the whole name or not. It’s long…so it will take up a lot of the book cover. But, I think I should be able to, I mean, it’s exactly the same number of letters as Susan Elizabeth Phillips...and she’s awesome. And multi-published. I think that’s a sign. 🙂 Since she goes by SEP does that mean I could go by MMF? (NO. Not MF, assheads….MMF. I swear, you people are sooo immature.)
Melissa Francis dot net is available but dot com is owned by a little girl in the UK who never updates her site but continues to renew it. Grumble.
Then there’s also Mel Francis or MMFrancis.
Tell me, oh blog readers… who am I?
Bitchin' Fiction: Musings by author Melissa McKenzie / Melissa Francis 
So what’s wrong with McKenzie Francis? (except that I almost misspelled it).
I think Melissa McKenzie Francis is too long, regardless of SEP.
Mel Francis is YOU darling, and you should buy it anyway whether you forward from it or use it as THE domain.
MMFrancis is too MMKaye for me. But maybe that’s just me. There’s no sass in it and dahlink you got sass. That’s why I like the McKenzie Francis cause it has sass too.
Is McKenzie a maiden or middle name?
BTW–GoDaddy has .coms for $6.95 right now. You might have to follow this link.

To follow up with Gina’s idea, what about SassyFrancis.com? Sassy. It does fit. And SassyFrancis is even better!
If you want my vote from your options, I too agree with Mel Francis. And McKenzie would get spelled wrong a lot. McKenzy, MaKenzie. McKinzy. McKenny. Kenny Rogers. The Gambler… see. I’m already looking at flights to Vegas.

Mel Mak Francis, or Mel Mak Fran
But, Mel Mak sounds like a character from Mork and Mindy.

Although I like them all to tell you the truth.
What does your gut say?

I like McKenzie Frances. I was going to tell you it is also original now that Mackenzie Phillips is dead, but apparently she isn’t.
