Pen Names

Hey fellow writers, I know right now my standing in the writeblr community is real small, but those of you out there who see this, please let me know your thoughts on the topic at hand: pen names.

I'm thinking of writing under one (I don't want to give the name away right now, but the initials are M.R.) and I was curious if there were any others out there who are wanting to do the same thing.

I know when going into the writing business, using pen names can be a tricky thing, like what happened with J.K. Rowling and how basically her lawyers revealed her pen name.

I highly doubt I'll be that famous, so I don't think that'll be an issue for me, lol! But thoughts please!! Let me know what you guys think, and whether I should continue down this route.
