Secret identity.

Are you hiding something?

Do your co-workers have no clue you spend your evenings and weekends writing poetry?

Do your closest friends not know about your blog?

Did your cover almost get blown with the family when you had to get up from Thanksgiving dinner more than twenty times to hide in the pantry chipping away at your NaNoWriMo novel?

If so, you’ve earned the “secret identity” merit badge. Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone.

Part of the merit badges for writers series. The badge may be posted on your site or blog. Tell us why you’ve earned (or will never earn) it in the comments.
