Yeah… I can understand that.
And that is a question I have thought about for myself… So when I first joined SE, I wanted to be careful about where I was putting my name. I made sure that you couldn’t actually make it to my public profiles through my blog. This meant I could share my writing work without giving away who I was. My blog is a complete dead end.
But ever since I joined, I’ve realized where I want to take my writing… and those places are writing fiction (and possibly non-fic), editing… and coaching. If I want to be a writing coach, I think it would be best to use my secret identity. So in the long run it would be profitable for me to use my secret identity the more I want to get involved with coaching and editing.
And overall I’m familiar with this world, so I feel more comfortable using my real name.
