Off the Bookshelf

To me, my stories are a piece of my soul and having people I know read them, isn't as bad as standing in front of them naked, but it's close! That's why I've kept my writing hobby a secret. (Yes, I call it a hobby because I enjoy it so much that it can't be a job.) Only a few close friends knew, and I've slowly added others. I didn't tell my dad until two years ago, and I made him promise not to tell anyone even though he was proud and wanted to tell the world. So I took a big step over the weekend and came off the bookshelf, opening my secret up to my family. But I didn't do it for me; I did it for my Dad!
