: Re: Why shouldn't I use a pen name? I don't like my name. I feel like seeing my name on the cover of my novel will be an embarassment more than a moment of pride - I just can't take things

I worked with someone who used a screen name, and we were implementing a system that used the HR system to create accounts in computer systems.

However, he made our life a living heck, since he was John Smith to everyone in the company, but his legal name was James Madison (names changed to protect the foolish). But he never legally changed his name. Another company had a number of TV actors in similar circumstances, and it is a pain in the backend to make the phone book use his non-legal name.

So once you start writing under a pen name, it is the thin edge of a wedge to using it more regularly, and before you know it, you will be making people like me, life a living heck!
