at all sure I've done that gramatically.) (Carol?)

If you're asking me to correct the grammar in your cute post, or
reword it slightly more gracefully, I'd really rather not. That would
be entirely the wrong response, and besides, it's fine as it is. I'll
point out though, since you (sort of) asked, that "nom de plume" isn't
hyphenated.
