Right now I'm letting Jackie read my most current story writings on my laptop so I can't sit in the room with her. She's such a great writer and I'm terrified she will find the things I right dumb and trivial. I feel like I put her in between a rock and a hard place because she knows I'm too sensitive to take criticism and I HATE for her to have to lie and tell me she likes it when I know she really doesnt. Or assume she doesnt, I'm not sure. I suppose I am just an incredibly self concious person...and I want her to think good things not, "Why am I dating this incredibly loser?" Yargh.
If I was ever to become a writer, which I wouldnt, I would be exactly like Virginia Woolf. Incredibly shy and nervous about my work. She hated sending her books off to the publishers, afraid of what they might say and bad reviews could send her off the ledge into insanity. I feel very much like Virginia Woolf.
