And, although I don't have kids, I do go out and do things with hubby. <br /><br />I didn't know you wrote stories and poetry! I really do wish you'd publish them, but I can relate to your not doing so. <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and commenting!! :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-50130387383454338752016-04-10T00:13:03.893-04:002016-04-10T00:13:03.893-04:00I find it hard to fit in some of my interests arou...I find it hard to fit in some of my interests around work and my family. Blogging and reading are my main outside interests. I enjoy writing stories and poetry--although I do it for myself and not for others.

They do give me a lot of joyful moments, although I must admit, quite a bit of anxiety, as well.... That's because I'm such a HUGE perfectionist!<br /><br />You're very welcome for the share!

So I don't think there's much trolling there. People do review your stories, though. If you don't get that many reviews on a particular story, it means people don't like it. <br /><br />I'm more scared of rejection Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-42077225634691980552016-04-09T20:53:05.276-04:002016-04-09T20:53:05.276-04:00Hey, Brian!

I Paid a lot of attention to style, and do need to work on my plotting. But the characters in these stories are not mine. I really need to create my own. That's why I stopped after a while. And yes, fear of rejection IS a big issue with me. <br /><br />Time is a HUGE problem.

After all, there are always people who won't like what you create, anyway, just as there will always be those who will.<br /><br />I'm glad there are people who are brave enough to put their stuff out there for others to enjoy, if they want to!

I've always envied people who could draw. I have ideas of how I want things to look in my head but I can't translate it onto the page.

I think that I might feel the same way if I wrote fiction. <br /><br />When it comes to other interests my biggest issue is time. I wish that I did not spend so much of it at work.
