I've been Just Another Cassio since August of last year. Me and JAC were all to ourselves until I decided to apply to be a writer for the Board. My roommate knew I was applying and one night we shared our pseudonyms with each other. It was intense I tell you.
I'm not one that likes to keep secrets about myself. When I started this blog I wanted to have an outlet to write about my thoughts and life and even my opinions about what goes on. Admittedly I love to tell stories. This blog seemed like an avenue I could use to develop that interest.
Secret identities have a dark side though. Everytime I start to write something on my blog I end up erasing it because I'm just not sure if it gives too much info regarding myself. For the past 9 months I've been guarding who I am and I'm starting to ask myself "why?." I can't imagine how Clark Kent did it (or does it).
I see only two options to this dilemma:
- Share my real name with the world.
- Forget about the reader and write to write.

There is an alternative... you could have a seperate blog that you don't share with the public. If you're just writing to write, then why does it matter if anyone reads it?
3. Get a different, non-related blog for your personal stuff? (o: I'd read it. I bet it'd be filled with the sordid details of parking tickets and...hmm...do you ever do anything sordid? I doubt it.
Already thought of that. I don't think I can handle a second blog. Heck, yesterday I spent an hour trying to come up with a name for it. No luck. [shrug]
Me, I've kept my real name to myself (mostly), but I've still said to heck with the reader and write whatever I darned well please.
Hey, it's an option.
