Headache central
May. 11th, 2003 10:27 amI have a headache, it's not one of those killing you headaches, it's more of a dull throb at the back of my head.
Coraline still amazes me, and makes me want to be a writer, so I'm checking out how-to's and stuff. The problem is that I've been too immerse in fandom that I can't think up an original character and--
Well, I'm afraid.
I'm intimidated but I want to be published and in the same vein I get a cold sweat whenever I visualize sending any of my works. I feel like I don't deserve to be published and I'm a long ways of to publishing a novel. And I do want to publish a novel but that fear...
A lot of people are telling me, mostly my grandfather to stop my time wasting reading because it doesn't lead to anywhere then I read authors like Neil Gaiman, who profess to be an indescrimnate reader. He reads anything and anywhere, and he started out as journalist doing interviews and I'd like to do that but you see I'm painfully shy.
The mention of interviewing someone, meeting someone knew, or talking on stage leaves me hyperventilating. I'm hopeless but I don't want to be. What do I do? No. I do know what to do, I'm just afraid.
And how strange, I'm flashbacking to the scene where Frodo admits his fears to Galadriel. No, it isn't strange, it's appropriate.
edit/ Blogger is kicking my ass, by the way. I'm very illiterate in that way, I don't know how to set it up in my soon to be site. Advice, anyone?
