There Are Challenges to Being More Than One Writer at a Time
I am not one writer — I’m two or three writers in one.
Did you know that I have two completely separate Amazon author pages?
Working with my marketing professional last year, we decided that — to alleviate potential brand confusion — I needed to separate my fiction and my nonfiction.
To do that — I created two separate identities. I am MJ Blehart — author of sci-fi, fantasy, and other fiction. But I am also Murray “MJ” Blehart — author of nonfiction books about mindfulness, positivity, conscious reality creation, self-improvement, life lessons, and so on.
The various blog articles I publish tend to lean towards the latter. Those like this — about writing, art, and the ongoing process — skirt the line between them.
None of which addresses my third identity as a writer. I also produce website content, post content, blogs, and other writing work for businesses.
There are, admittedly, multiple challenges that stem from being more than one writer at a time. However — please note that while they are a challenge, this is not about negatives. It’s all about navigation and being where I desire to be in this life.
