I wrote by pen name in the past. I don't want my fam to poke their noses into my writings too. They like to be stumbling block in my way to achieve great things in life, especially my sister. But, one day, one of my colleagues gave me a good talk about being brave to come out and be fierce in standing up for my rights. We will meet more vampires and trolls in our way, but we do it right. It is okay to retreat into pen name in between when we are tired. Do it only if you are ready for the challenge. =)
