Identity Crisis

Having two identities sucks! I was told by many people that since my first book is a memoir that contains highly personal information that I should produce a pseudonym to write my novels under. That means two of everything. Two email accounts on each provider, Gmail and Outlook (hotmail), two Facebook accounts, two Absolute Write accounts, etc. etc. etc. It really becomes a real hassle when I try to keep the passwords separated. It's bad enough when everyone and their uncle wants me to change passwords every month to avoid being hacked or phished but for crying out loud in the dark, that's a lot of work for one name, let alone two. It's my own fault though. Actually it's something that just needed to be done. I figure if I have enough brain power to write books, I can deal with this. It just gives me something to gripe about.

Until next time,
