If writing under a pen name would give you more freedom, I say go for it! I am a lifestyle blogger that shares openly. Therefore, I use my real name, because my job is to constantly show my real life. I feel free using my name. I have considered changing my writing name to "Gracie," because so many people call me that on here. And no one in my real life does, but I am too scared to make even the smallest change. 😂
