2. Was there a time I ever
felt embarrassed or
ashamed when I was
reading or writing?
Describe the event.

Yes there was a time when I felt embarrassed to read and write.  I got into writing right after I got into recreational reading because after I had read my first series by James Patterson, his funny, action-packed and heart-warming stories inspired me to create my own.

I thought, "If this old man can do it and make it look easy, then surely I can."

But child, let me tell you. It was no easy feat. There is a certain art that comes with writing books, and it was an art that at the time, I knew nothing about. I had an idea, a pen and paper, and support from my parents but the product of all those things was something that I do not like to recall.

The amount of grammatical errors, dialogue problems and plot holes that came out of my first book is just embarrassing. And it's the fact that I used to sell the little paper to my friends at school for 50 cents so that they could read it. It was bad, but I was a business woman about it. Let me give you a little sneak peak, I even made a book cover and everything.

And the only time I've ever felt embarrassed while reading a story was when I got into wattpad and read some of the popular romance and fanfiction content on there....

._. I'll never go back.

merry christmas to you, too. may god be with you all in doing your work and just living a great life in general! < 3
