I'm a worrier. Mostly I worry that I'm not good enough.

In most things I don't really care what other people think, I measure myself against my own expectations. But writing is different. I do care what other people think.

I've never shared any of my fictional writing with anyone. It's strange, I'm more than happy to bare my entire life through writing on here, but if I write a story, I'm terrified to share.

Tonight is a big night. For my writing class homework I wrote a very short story - or at least an excerpt of one. I ran it by my mum and sister and it seemed to go down well. Tonight it will be read aloud to a room full of strangers. Eek. Again wish me luck!
