Question from Brandi F:
Q: Some people are afraid to fail. I on the other hand am afraid of success. I’d like my work to be “out there” without myself being “out there”. How do I get around this?
Ann:
“As you probably know, it takes immense work and sacrifice to get anything truly “out there”. If the work is original and inspiring, people will naturally be curious as to who did it. A pseudonym is a good place to start. Practice anti-narcissism.”
