Episode 44: Writing Under A Pseudonym
Episode description
Do you want to write under a pseudonym or not?
I have been writing as Charlie Bleecker for over four years. If you want to give it a real go, commit to it for a year.
Do my friends read my writing? No. Does my family read my writing? No. That is the whole point.
If you care at all about growing your audience in a time span of less than 10 years, don’t do it.
What about support? It’s nice to have your family and friends support you… That’s true. But give it time. You only need one or two people to support you in the beginning. I have SO much support now, and none of it comes from my friends or family, except for my husband. He is the one person in my life who knew about Charlie from the beginning.
How to choose your name: Pick a name you like! One that’s easy to say and easy to spell and isn’t super common if you search it in Google.
