Does anyone else have affectionate nicknames for some of their favorite writers? No, just me? Damn.
Below is a list of nicknames I have for some of my favorite writers (I'll add to the list as I think of more):
William Shakespeare becomes Shakes, W. Shakes, Willy Shakes, or Will
McShake Shakes depending on the day of the week or what mood I happen
to be in.
 |
| You know... Shakes was kind of attractive in a middle-aged, slightly balding up top kind of way. And the 'stash is very nice. |
Nicholas Sparks is Nicky Sparks, or Sparkie.
 |
| Nicky ain't so bad looking either. I'm weak against eye crinkles! |
James Patterson is J. Pat or J. Patty or Pats.
 |
| Great tortured writer look, Pats! |
Nora Roberts becomes N. Robs or Nory.
 |
| Looking Nory, looking good! |
In case you're wondering . . . yes, I do sometimes utter these nicknames aloud in public or to friends.
