LOL! It's totally not me to be an extrovert when it comes to my writing.<br /><br />I worked with a lovely temp who was also a writer. She was only 25 years old, had an MA in Creative Writing, was on her second unpublished novel and had one short story accepted and the only reason I know all these was that on her first day, she told everyone - from the boss to the part-time staff and all in between all about her writerly ambitions and dreams. I could only watch and listen in gobsmacked awe. Only 2 people at work know of my writing and very close friends and family (and of course bloggy friends!) and I still keep all my writerly things very close to my heart. But here was this sweet young thing - who didn't know the meaning of discretion! She was just out there. Amazing.<br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488911705938331499.post-38718207695539996802012-06-11T15:35:32.543-04:002012-06-11T15:35:32.543-04:00You're lucky to be both!

I'm both because it depends whether I'm in the mood to be wearing my social hat or if I want to hide and write poems.
