What if I become a famous author? That's like a dream and a nightmare. Like, yeah I'll be famous and people will love my hard work, and yet I don't feel comfortable being in the spot light. I don't think I'll ever be in the spotlight. Buuuut, what if I do something like Sia, or Marshmellow? We don't know who they really are or what they look like. Which would be perfect in my case. I struggle with being in the spotlight. All eyes on me. I'm like a Fluttershy Rainbow Dash kind of person. I think of myself as awesome and nothing can get to me, but the spotlight is the one fear I fear the most, besides heights. And needles. And clowns. And depression/suicidal thoughts. Okay, I have a lot of fears. But I'm not ashamed to admit them. In fact, I find it a bit comedic listing all these fears. Exluding the depression/suicidal thoughts. Those aren't comedic whatsoever. Anyway, as I was saying, I think it would be a great idea if I designed something that I could hide behind. Like, I'd still be myself, but nobody would no it was me, you get what I'm saying? I mean, hiding behind a mask means I could be anyone, which brings the spotlight away from me. It's perfect. Of course, I'm saying all this and later in the future if you see an author who is hiding behind a mask, more than likely that's gonna be me. Or, you know, I could just throw the whole undercover author idea out the window entirely and just roll with it.
With that long explanation, I’d say you have a hint of Pinkie mixed in with the Rainbow and Flutters.

Yeah. Maybe you could tell some people about it, but not others. Sometimes, I do things on here I said I found, and have the ol´ hidden name of anomynous.
I feel the same way! That would be so smart!
Yup, that's why some authors use a pseudonym. It's not an uncommon thing to have reservations about being in the spotlight.

I might just do that! I mean, I knew that's what authors do, but I was thinking of doing something a little more extra to give it some personality. I want to make writing and reading appeal to more people out there, so why not make it interesting? Though, that idea will likely happen much further on in my career. I still have a lot more practicing to do to become a professional writer.
