Every superhero has a secret identity–a self known only to them, and a persona to the world.

In putting more into the world, in writing what you want to see–you may have to employ (or exercise) a pen name. There is no same in that. There may be ideas you want to explore which for the want of decency (or in my case a Baptist upbringing), that you have to explore with the cloak of a pen name.

Writers must become comfortable with using all resources at the ready, accessing a bravery few people have, or ever will. The goal still is to write what you want, as you want, and being aware that you have permission to create what you want.

Like you want.

When you want.

As you want it.

Be brave and keep going.
