Many writers use pen names, myself included. Personally, I use my pen name to distance my writing following from my personal life. I will share what I want to share on my twitter and this blog but I reserve more intimate information for personal conversations. I recently met a few writers who use their pen name to distance their family from their writing. Maybe they just feel like what they are expressing in their writing is different from what they want to express to their family.
This is strange to me. The first to know when a piece of mine gets published or printed are my loved ones. I try to be vocal and honest with my views with everyone. If they get offended that is their problem.
I just thought that hiding your work from your family was interesting if anyone uses their pen name for a similar reason I'd love to know your reasoning. - Cheers
