Hubbbb

No new writing. Sad, I know. But I did make myself a HubPage.

I'm still not sure what it is or how to benefit from it, but it's still another thing out there advertising me and my writing. I have quite a line up of links now: blogspot, twitter, writerscafe, and hubpages. I'm going to create as many as I can and hopefully one of them will stick and spark. I have a folder containing numerous links for writing contests, I've just yet to go through them yet. I have plenty of short stories, novels in progress, and poems I can submit, I just don't have the time it takes (or the money for some).

Tomorrow I'm going to my school and seeing if I can apply/write for their newspaper, and if they have a literary magazine, that too. I need my name out there, and I'm done with being shy, coy, and too scared to promote myself.

I feel my writing is good. I feel it is good enough to be published, and I feel it's good enough for others to read.

I have one, BIG issue however: I won't let my friends or family read anything.

I don't know why, I just can't get the courage to show them anything I wrote, including my blog, hubpage, and twitter. This is something I have to work on, maybe start off small and just show my sister or mother or someone, then eventually send my links out to everyone i know, maybe i'll even put it on facebook. But for right now, it's just me and strangers.
