As a recent English graduate, I have just started applying for jobs and I am worried about the image I have projected with my pseudonym personality. Basically, I've had so many names over the years and two years ago I felt like I had finally found what I am--Sara Psychedelic. However, for the people who don't get what I am about/what I'm trying to accomplish they have pushed and pushed for me to reconsider because 1) The connection Psychedelic has to drugs and 2) It isn't professional like a boring normal pseudonym that sounds like a real name (no offense to anyone who uses this tactic. Stephen King writes good stuff, but I think even his name is lame)
I feel like I am at a stand still right now. After trying to get a job as a writer and failing to even get emails saying "we are moving on with the process blah blah", it makes me wonder if I have intimidated people, and if I should really change my name. I am honestly afraid to put in more jobs because thus far and all of this pushing has lead me to constant questions and even more of an identity crisis/anxiety problems. Sara Psychedelic feels like me, who I've been for a very long time...
Anyone out there who can give advice? Hearing from experienced writers would help even more.
How would a hiring committee know that this was one of your pseudonyms?
When I provide links in applications/resumes, which I'm not sure if I should do. I have heard that if you don't, it lessens the chance the employer will consider you.
Are you using the name anywhere but here? Because a content site is not going to do much good on a resume.

I want to start writing a blog or articles on here, but I would prefer to not use my actual name. However, I am unsure as to how that would affect payment. Thank you for your assistance.

Does anyone over the age of 25 follow current fashion trends?Being 19 years old, I can't see the appeal of buying new clothes every season just to be like everyone else. Do older women and men feel the same way?

After reading through the religion forum, I see a lot of different views, but I also see some that are very much the same. What I am curious about is this ... are we all mostly different, or are we preaching the same message from different mouths?Only one way to find out ...I just want to know the...
