A Magnificently Methodical Southern Woman
and The Most Brilliant Woman in the World
During this "Beer" virus downtime I have done lots of those little things that need doing. I've organized all my spaces. I've had my son help me build shelves. I've worked on sewing projects. And, with the 10-human crowd-size limit, I've done streaming house concerts with Misha Stefanuk and Joel Edwards since we cannot perform in public. I'm reading a manuscript by a '60's pop icon for a book he submitted to my publishing company.
But this morning I reached a new low of looking for something to do. I went to an anagram generating site on the Internet and put in my name: Angela Durden. After copying and pasting the list into a Word document, I went through and got rid of 463 that were either meaningless or nasty. The remaining 37 are below; you can read the entire list for yourself.
However, I have chosen my faves out of these and have added punctuation to make it even more meaningful where that works. What makes an anagram my fave, you ask? If it is something others have called me. If it is something my ex would've called me. They are:
Things my ex might've called me:
Adrenal Nudge
Annual Dredge
Laundered Nag
Things others have called me:
Danged Unreal
Danged Neural
However, the best fun of all was the book titles I came up with. Something that would make a title for a book that John D. MacDonald* would've written. They are:
Book titles:
A Dangled Rune
A Gnarled Nude
A Dunned Lager
[The] Unread Dangle
A Gerund, Laden
A Regal, Dunned
[The] Nude Nerd Gala
Run, Dead Angel, [Run!]
[The] Dead Regal Nun
Was that fun or what? It was fun. Spurred me to greater heights of creativity. Not that I need much spurring which you would know if you have purchased any of my books. What? You haven't bought any of my books? Well, why not? Click the link below or go to Amazon.com and type in Angela K. Durden in the search bar.
