It's 2am and I'm listening to the rain in the dark while my wife sleeps next to me, oblivious. This is usual for me. I'll go to bed at near 10pm, then wake up for an hour or so, usually starting at 1am. By 3am I'm tired again, then wake up at 5:15am and be fairly tired for the rest of the day. But today is different. Today, at 2am, I decided it would be a good idea to share my 'Official Website' on my personal Facebook page; to literally everyone I know. What was I thinking!
For years I've kept my hobby of writing a secret from my wider group of friends and acquaintances because I've never felt good enough to show it off. That has kind of changed. Originally, I thought I'd write something and it would just be a one off and I'd move on; it would just be one of those things I once did stories. But actually, I kept doing it. Because actually, I just love inventing and writing stories that try to get inside people's heads.
The reason I'm writing all this, like a confession I suppose, is because I know I need to get out of my comfort zone and away from my crippling shyness about my writing hobby, and just show off a bit. But it's hard when it's something so personal and precious to you. Anyway, I've done it now and I'm letting the chips fall where they may. It's a method I use a lot when I know I need to make a drastic change in my life. So today, at around 2am, I've put myself out there for all my friends and acquaintances to see. Pretty ballsy, I know!
I hope it goes well 😳
