I'm trying to come up with a suitable pseudonym simply because I want to keep "that life" separate from "this life". A big part of the reason is Goodreads and MobileRead - I enjoy my active online life as a reader and I don't want that being complicated when I'm participating, especially on GR. Plus, having seen how some authors act on GR, and how readers can get nuts when engaging them... I don't want to be any more a part of that than I have to be. I don't do drama.
There are music and film projects that I work on under my own name, and I want to keep that separate as well. I function better when I compartmentalize.
