Ah, yes, plenty of years spent writing, a few years of 'adult fiction'. And yet hardly anyone has ever read my stuff. The select few who had, had to pry it from my cold dead hands and revive me with compliments which left me uncertain of whether I was being honestly critiqued or just encouraged regardless of skill.
That being said, I am terrified of ever sharing any work in the big wide world. "Why don't you write for a living?" They ask. Shoot, I can't even sit through letting someone read a story from me.
Does anyone else have to deal with this?
