gnomiOK, so I was going to be all spiffy-like and construct a real poll about this, but I couldn't come up with any cute/catchy/snarky answers, so instead I'll do this the boring way.
I've been thinking a lot about pseudonyms and why/if people choose to use them. If I were to ever publish any of my fiction, I don't know whether or not I'd use a pseudonym. And that made me wonder - as I look around at all the writers on my friends list, and boy there are a lot of them. So, some questions:
1. Do you write?
2. If you write, do you use a pseudonym?
3. If you use a pseudonym, why?
4. If you don't use a pseudonym, why?
5. How did you choose your pseudonym?
6. Do more people know you by your pseudonym or by your real name? :-)
Curiousgnomis are waiting with bated breath for your answers.

Flat out one of the coolest books I've ever read on process.
And it's amazing how much of the stuff she talks about we, as a team, have already incorporated into our stuff. Lots of cool/interesting ideas. Etc., etc.
