I recently read an article by Dean Koontz the author of a number of horror/suspense books. He was writing about about where when Dean was first starting out it was considered bad for new writers to write more than one novel a year as it is believed the works of a prolific young writer will be dismissed as “piffle” and so he created a pen name (pseudonym) to create verbally some novels under. When he became successful and come up known he could then kill off his pen name and publish all his books under his own label which is why he isnt still writing novels as Owen West.
I have a confession to make and its that I have done the opposite. I have been writing another blog under a pseudonym and its been refreshing to be someone different. Despite having only written a few posts the blog has been indexed and is doing okalthough I cant use the usual attach of success whether it is turning a profit since there are no ads or sources of revenue on the communicate.
But the most interesting thing is that mentally it has been a refreshing experience. Writing on this other blog has been a refreshing undergo as I can affix when I be and there isnt the expectation that I be to keep positing to act sponsors/advertisers happy and in turn paying me.
However like Dean I think the time has go to kill off my pseudonym and just act going with the blogs I have as me rather than an unknown offspring. This communicate is despite its total loss of page rank doing well with reasonable income increasing merchandise and improved alexa rankings that doesnt leave it sitting too far out of the Australian Top 100 blogs within the next three months.
So gone is the pseudonym of that who never was. Goodbye farewell your dead now even though never lived.
