I Did It!

The other day I wrote about how I chickened out of going to the writing class. Well, they had another one today and I went! And I survived! It was actually a lot of fun and I have an assignment for next week.

I am so proud of myself. All day I tried to talk myself out of going because I was so scared to be around people. But I knew how lousy I would feel if I succumbed to my fear like last time. And I feel terrific now that I actually did it.

There were eight ladies besides myself there, and the male author who was leading the class. I didn't really have to talk to anyone, and the author was very insightful.

The scary part now is deciding whether I will be able to read my assignment to the class next week or not. For now I'm just going to write it and see if I feel up to it then. Chances are I may not get to go to the next one because my mom may be in the hospital. She is having surgery to correct the wiring around her breast bone that has come loose. So who knows. We'll see. I'm just glad I took a step out of my shell. It's exhilarating!
