Here's my current situation. I'm busily writing away on my sci fi stories. However, I'm also writing a religious motivational book. I'm committed to both of them. But I kind of wonder if I would look kind of indecisive if I'm writing a religious book and then have sci fi stories where faith is being seriously questioned by some of the characters. And there's some stuff I want to deal with and not have the baggage of somebody saying without giving it a chance, "Oh, his sci fi stuff is going to be garbage. All he can do is religious writing." Would using a pen name for the time being for my sci fi writing be a wimp's way out? I mean, I would confess if somebody figured out the pen name and my regular name was one and the same. And if I did the pen writing path, how would I be able to still get the work copyrighted? How could I still get an audience?
