I want to be a writer. I've always wanted to be a writer. I stopped believing I could do it and, indeed, stopped trying a lot of things. I'm now 26 though, and beginning to believe that I could do it. I love stories, I love language and I love creating my own stories.
I'm scared of a lot of things, which I have listed below.
- Failing
- Dark Staircases
- Cockroaches
- Clowns
- Expressionless Masks
- Being Confined in a Small Place
- Heights
- Ghosts
- Driving
- Landing in an Aeroplane (I always think the plane will either crash upon impact or go out of control and crash into the airport.)
- In movies, when you see someone but only the back of their head and never their face.
- Talking in large groups.
- Victorian Dolls
- Lifelike Mannequins
- Old Portraits of people where their eyes follow you.
I can't think of other things that frighten me at the moment but I'm sure there are many! I just had a thought: maybe I can use those things that scare me as ideas for what some of my practice stories can be about! I'm more than a little rusty but also very excited about writing again!
I am , (well was )scared of Cats until i confronted it with 4 cats. now im ok.. not fine but ok.
ReplyDeletecock roaches... well was...until I watched them on the ceiling in vietnam... was like watching ants.. so orderly.
Spiders...well was until I met Cathy ,I now save her from them.
scared of losing you... but learnt I could let you go.and still have you..its just a few more miles between us..thats all.
Im definitely proud of the way you have faced some of your fears and tackled them. this just makes you stronger in the end.
but i do agree with about dolls......toooooo scary
