Should I change my name to Julian?

If I want to be a successful writer, then yes, maybe I should.

James Chartrand of Men with Pens – an extremely successful writer and blogger — has “outed” himself as a woman. A single mom, to be specific.

Why would a 30-something Canadian feel the need to adopt a male pen name? It’s explained in this Copyblogger guest post “Why James Chartrand Wears Women’s Underpants.” It’s definitely worth a read. Especially if you think feminism is an antiquated term.
