It is with extreme sorrow that I am annoucing the passing of wHATUP. His death has been a long time in coming but at the same time seems rather quick.

It has only been within the last few months that I have outgrown the pen name. There were a couple of reasons I had to put wHATUP to rest.

1. It was a stupid name anyway. What am I a budweiser commercial?

2. If I got one more "what up wHATUP" message in my inbox I was going to heave my computer in the direction of Jacksonville.

3. I am really trying to become a writer and not just a blogger. I just couldn't bare the thought of a potential agent/publisher/whatever looking at my writings here and seeing the screen name wHATUP associated with it. It just screamed of someone that is unprofessional.

4. With the new site I wanted a new start. This kinda going along with #3. With the new site I really want to make a concerted effort to be a fiction writer and I think using my real name is the first step.

So, so long wHATUP, it has been great knowing you but you out lived your usefulness - adios!
