I don’t know how I feel about this. It really chaffs my ass that I have to hide my real name on my writing because I want to get a “public” job. Even thought the name change might attract new readers, because hey, it’s not like I have a huge fan base now. 

I wonder how much it will matter. I wonder if it will really make a difference. I wonder if I need to do this in order to get any job.

I am open to opinions?
