If I did start writing in new genres then I suppose I could.<br />Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624068184395158629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773759989225356372.post-55501193100418840992018-10-31T00:10:04.332-05:002018-10-31T00:10:04.332-05:00I've wondered over the years if I might not ha...I've wondered over the years if I might not have done a little better with a pseudonym or two. I didn't initially because I never assumed that my non-fiction writing would end up paying the bills. I did want the ego stroking of seeing my name on novels and short stories. Now, looking at the cross-section of the fiction I write, I see at least two or three distinct streams. I suspect I could have built a better following by creating a persona for each stream and saying to hell with ego stroking.

Now that things have cooled down, I'm attempting to get used to using my real name. With screen plays, I've owned the moniker since the get go.Mark Keigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057982108264843405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773759989225356372.post-81151240547608562102018-10-30T19:56:51.229-05:002018-10-30T19:56:51.229-05:00Hmmm...I never thought of it quite that way.

OTOH, I'm not going to writing for another fifty years, so unless I start becoming "wildly popular", name identification might be important to my career. I agree, that in your case, you WOULD have benefited from at LEAST three names (RM and WWW might not have taken such a bite out of your spirit if they'd had nondescript, throw-away pseudonyms...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
