I'm surprised by the combination of "Writing a book + public speaking opportunities + (apparently public) twitter account" with not wanting to dox yourself in the blog post.

Do you have two+ very different online personas? I can't imagine you doing public speaking without your book readers/twitter followers knowing exactly who you are. And if they know, then why keep your blog covert?

I'm really curious about what content you post publicly vs anonymously.

The anonymity allows me to be open and transparent about finances that I wouldn’t be able to if I identified myself. On my other accounts I mainly just post programming related stuff, nothing special.
You can be transparent about your numbers from linking to your Amazon ranking. Pretty easy to reverse engineer sales numbers from that.
