Hi.
Today is the day I decided to put my writing out into the big wide world. EEK! :shock:

Just wondering if anyone else is/or was in this predicament where you've never had anyone read anything you've ever written before?

Put me at ease - PLEASE.

xoxo

Well besides speakerskat helping me by reviewing my drafts of poems and attempts at beginning short stories, I was in your situation until you read my poem "Happy Birthday!".
Don't worry, there's people who will be there to review your work and help you to improve here at YWS! I guess you just have to go with the flow, as some say. ^-^

That made me feel much better...so I've taken the leap and posted my first chapter. :) Thanks for the push I needed.

I was like you, but then I stopped being like you. I've submitted at least 5 poems in the last 3 days.

He is a friend of mine!

Is always by my side!"

It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.
