Many of the world’s best known authors have used pen names. Among them: Stephen King using Richard Bachman, J.K. Rowling writing as Robert Galbraith, and Helen Goff penning Mary Poppins books under P.L. Travers. But why chose to use a name other than your own? There are a number of reasons.
Some of the pros:
- According to Writer’s Digest, one of the most common reasons author’s use a pen name is because their first book was a flat out failure. A pen name provides you with a clean slate.
- If you’re writing anything controversial (erotica or authoring political works), which may upset your family, a pen name keeps your privacy intact.
- Protecting the privacy of someone close to you, especially if you’re writing about them.
- If you’re a very private person and wish to remain so.
- In certain industries such as counseling, education, or government, writing could affect your main career. For example, if you’re a teacher, parents may not appreciate their kids elementary school teacher authors explicit romance novels.
- If you’re name is Stephen King or J.K. Rowling readers have high expectations for the words you write. A pen name for the ultra famous can provide more freedom.
- If your real name is very common, it becomes difficult to tell you apart from authors with the same or similar names.
- Sad but true – people still have sexist views on many topics. For example, a lot of readers think only certain genders can or should write certain genres. You rarely see a male author on a romance novel or a female name on a military or science fiction works.
Pen names do however, present some cons:
- As an author, you already have a following using your real name. Using a pen name can throw a wrench into building your social platform.
- There are legal issues associated with using a pen name that authors will have to deal with.
- Who are you in social situations? The author using your real name or the author under your pen name?
- Using a pen name may complicate using entities such as PayPal.
- It’s hard to keep the use of a pen name secret.
- Suppose the novel you wrote under a pen name suddenly takes off. Then you’re promoting two separate personas, just as I am with an earlier book I wrote under a pen name, Shades of Darkness, Shades of Grace.
There are good reasons to use an author pen name, but that also might mean there are unforeseen consequences. Ultimately, you’ll need to decide if the pros outweigh the cons.One thing we should all know is that what we wear, be it the shoes, or the clothes we wear or the handbags/bags we carry, or the watches on our hands highly reflect us.
It’s high time we upgrade because a classic look will attract million-dollar deals ( just a thought though )...

Have the cars been properly cleaned since they were last used?You want to make sure cars get valeted before each wedding. Are the cars safe?.I lifted this little gem from the Mormon Coffee blog.
I agree! I think faithful questioning is one of the most misunderstood aspects of the Mormon culture and faith. Honestly, the reactions to my faithful questioning were the biggest force driving me away. I think that when a member has legitimate concerns and articulates them respectfully, there needs to be a respectful dialogue, not just ad hominem.
I agree, but, you are alluding that faithful members when confronted with legitimate concerns, that all that happens is ad hominem instead of respectful dialogue. I disagree with this if that is indeed what you are alluding to.
Oh and that little bit about respectful dialogue, that is 2 way road that is often not reciprocated.
I do think disrespectful dialogue goes both ways. In my personal experience, when people don't know how to answer something and it challenges their deeply held beliefs, they get defensive and (possibly just) mean. This is not unique to mormonism, and (just my own personal experience) with a lot of members not versed on possible issues, questioning members that bring it up are attacked. I certainly was.
Right now the church has no institutional mechanism in place to deal with doubting/questioning members.
FAIR/FARMS/Maxwell/MADB as well as a new crop of apologetic books are indeed useful, but I doubt many members or church leaders even know about them.
I wish there was a church-sanctioned forum for such dialogue, because it certainly isn't at church.
I AGREE!! I think this would be infinitely helpful and less painful for questioning members. Right now, questioning members have such varied experiences because there is no approved, consistant way to deal with it. I think if it were more widely acknowledged and dealt with by the institution, we could avoid a lot of hurt.
I found that all my discomfort abated once I rejected Cognitive Dissonance Theory.
Even in context, I'm not sure what "faithful questioning" is supposed to mean...
Elder Hafen related his remarks specifically to anti-Mormon literature found on the Internet, and stated that too many people of faith let initial curiosity give way to feelings of dismay and betrayal when they come across unfamiliar arguments against the church.
Faithful questioning is a hallmark of a searching soul, he said, but claims found in anti-Mormon literature are no reason to abandon one's testimony, especially because many of the issue-taking and arguments out there have already been addressed by
