On anonymity
This year I found some improvement in my writing and I found hope I could be published in the near future. And be known in my real life by that identity .
But today was a hard day for me. People wise. And it made me wonder if Id ever want to be known.... and Im leaning on anonymity forever....
publish of course.... but keep the real life identity different .... because there is already so much suffering I get through real life socialising... certainly I dont want to add more with a larger audience .... and writing anonymously isnt meaningless by any angle... it might even have a greater impact .....
im feeling a little conflicted.... a part of me feels I should live freely without two parallel lives and take that social madness in my stride.... the other part thinks i really always want to be remembered thru my words and not thru my face.... so maybe anonymity is better suited for me....
How do you guys feel about this?
I don't think a public life is easy, I agree with you I would want my anonymity too.
@Creamyyy Maybe you could just use your first and middle name initials with your last name? Sort of anonymous but yet not? The people that truly know you will know that you're the author but it would give you a buffer with outside people.
Quite easy to publish anonymously. If you make the decision to reveal your identity, that’s your choice.
