Pen Names



Your novel or book of poetry is being published! Do you use a pen name?

Yes! Pen names are fun and I like the anonymity.

No! I worked hard on that thing, I want the credit.

Maybe—it depends on the content.

Kind of: I'd use a slightly altered version of my actual name.

If I do ever reach a publication stage, I suppose I'll use my real name. I enjoy its peculiar history and have no stigma attached to it. Pen names are fun from my perspective, however, so, if I ever need to write something that I would like to make sure isn't attached to my name, I'll use a pen name.

Though, only once I've gathered enough talent that my writing patterns aren't recognizable. I'd say that using a pen name would be useless to me, if my style is too easily recognizable.

Call me Mory.

I'm working on a worldbuilding project called The Wonders of Pujil Archipelago. You can find it here: The Wonders of Pujil Archipelago
  








If you can't get out of your comfort zone, you'll never find what you're looking for. Don't make things quick and easy to feel better short term. Make a change and then you'll feel better longer term.
