Why not write under a pseudonym? If you don't want people to associate you with every little detail of your writing, the easiest thing to do is to disassociate your writing identity with your offline identity.
- mikekchar 8y agoThat's a good idea :-). It never even occurred to me...
- pjc50 8y agoAlthough when you get successful the amount of effort devoted to breaking your pseudonym increases. We lost several UK police bloggers to this and there was a nasty campaign by the press against Brooke Magnanti.
- pixl97 8y agoYep, maintaining your secrecy is hard. As an individual you have hundreds of different patters that define who you are. Even the market you post to can geographically limit the location you are in. Use an uncommon, but correct, spelling of a word?
- sh87 8y agoYeah but what if I want, at some later date, to prove that I am indeed the original author of the said text instead of an imposter ?
