Nom de Plume anyone?

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Hello! I am somewhat new to this. I was blogging regularly a few years ago but then stopped. I am in the process of getting back into it with a more directed niche. I was wondering if any of you use a nom de plume and if so, do you use an actual photo of yourself or do you use an avatar or other photo that isn't you? Also, are you glad you're anonymous? If you do NOT use a nom de plume, do you wish you had? Why?
