If anything I write is ever published in any way, I would use a pen name. Simple reason: I'm a science teacher, with the tiny chance that one of my pupils could read something I write, as my preferred genre is YA... it's just not worth being traceable. It would make my job difficult it many ways . That's the reason I use my maiden name in work as well, despite being married for a few years - students can't look me up on Facebook!
