Hazy Chronicles: Episode 2 There is a specific kind of safety in a pseudonym. A quiet place to put the words where they can’t burn you. I spent a lifetime just wanting someone—anyone—to look my way and acknowledge the noise in my head, but I was always too afraid to attach my own face to the melody.Then the phone rang. I was floating, higher than a kite, all my walls completely down and my emotions running hot.

Protyus, Protyus, Wherefore art thou Protyus? The author reflects on their journey as a public content creator, necessitating a pen name for safety and identity. They chose "Protyus A. Gendher," inspired by Proteus' symbolism of versatility and their agender identity. Exploring multicultural connections, they express a desire to learn about South Asia while aiming to broaden their audience.

Proteus is also a type of bacteria, one of the smallest and most fundamental life forms. It reminds me that we are constantly changing, and always connected in ways that run deeper than the contributions of humankind. #name #moniker #penname

If you have ever looked at my author name and gone does she know what that means? Yes, yes I do, and it was on purpose. 🤣 There's a story as to why it is what it is. 🤣 And it goes all the way back to Tumblr nuking accounts. 🤣

This perhaps genius indie author I came across has me rethinking my pen name.

Should I maybe re-brand as D.R. Agon? Una Corn? Wei R. Wolf? Fan Tacy? How about Wright E. R.?

Would just like to point out that my author name now has more “R” initials than either J.R.R. Tolkien's or George R.R. Martin's.

The Creative's urge to be known by many names.

We are like some sort of mythical legendary figure, enigmatic and multifaceted, each moniker seeped in merit or history.

Pen name, pseudonym, keyfabe. No singlular name or title can capture your intrigue.

In future I'll sign my poems with 'Makoto'.

Makoto means truth, sincerity, faithfulness, integrity, honesty, reality, devotion.

I'm aligning myself with what I stand for, what I long for. I want to recognise my own shortcomings, and continue to face them so that I never stop learning.
