I ask cuz I was chatting with someone today about a creative project I’m working on, and said if I ever were to publish it I’d want to do so under a pseudo-name because if it did really well I wouldn’t want to become famous, the idea of being famous at all makes me anxious.
They felt this was weird of them. Personally I think this can’t be an uncommon sentiment, I mean plenty of authors out there despise public life, so I think it’s a pretty common feeling.
I think as long as people didn’t like recognize me on the street, I’d be fine with it. Or if it was for something really niche
