For those that use a pen name for your writing, what's you're individual reason for that choice?

My kids decided they wanted me to read a chapter of MY book to them every night before bedtime. Seeing their faces fill with wonder hearing my words tonight is more validation than I will ever need in my life. #writer #author #writingcommunity #lostintheshadows

Dear @bsky.app
300 characters is not enough for me to express what's in my heart. Please give me a little more room for creativity. There are 2000 characters allowed for the alt text for gifs...

Waterfall from the right of frame to middle ending in a pool and forming ripples. The water is moving fast, creating white lines down the dark mountain face, but there are few bubbles at the bottom.

Very blurry image from the passenger seat of a car at 5 am. But the sky is beautiful! It's pink at the horizon, then mering into a bright white before blending into a cool almost periwinkle blue.

My fave skill building tool is what I call sketching- writing a moment in time to practice the craft & to pull that memory later and plug into a finished piece (like an artist sketching). We went to the Atl Airport (i did a bit of people watching). & on a hike I got some nature descriptions

I saw a squirrel fattening up for winter. This morning, we picked up my husband's best friend from the airport and then took him to one of our favorite waterfalls. I went to the bottom of the falls this time and found the water full of river snails! Sorry no pics. I was too into it 🀣 #getoutside

In that case, it sounds like such a fun a experience! (for both you writing it and your reader experiencing it) :D

Would readers not realize they're the same person because they're not named in 1 and 2?

My daughter was diagnosed with covid and pneumonia today. Along with Dr visits and chest xrays, I still had laundry, dishes, dinner, and work to handle. I managed to find time to daydream and put another 1000 words into "It's Not That Serious" but I need a nap #prayforhealing #writerslife #writer

Do you have any suggestions or examples of a good alt text for an image?
