HOMESTAR RUNNER: Maybe I should get me one of them pseudonames.
STRONG SAD: {hyperactive, leans in from the left side of the screen} It's "-nym"! It's "-nym"! It's pseudonym! Not pseudoname! I can't take it any more! Nym nym nym! It's a Greek word for "name"! Pseudonym! Pseudonym! {leans back out}
Realistically though, you can't publish works anonymously because you have to sign contracts with publishers, get paychecks, so on, and no publishing company would ever allow anonymous publishing for legal reasons (lawsuits and so-on). There really is no way to publish anonymously...even if you wanted to photocopy and bind your own books, you'd have to find a way to sell them that would allow people to find out your identity.
So yes, a pseudonym is really the only option if you don't want to use your real name.
