Summary

Using a pen name seemed like a good idea... until it bifurcated my personality, fed my people-pleasing tendencies, and held back my career. In this bonus episode of The Working Writer Podcast, I share the backstory of why I decided to use a pen name –– and why I changed my mind.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/working-writer-podcast/support
