I've recently found this group [View all]

I've been writing most of my life, but I never finish anything. My son pulled me into a writer's group in our town (created out of Covid boredom) and we decided to do a challenge for all of us. So, we joined a Zombie Fiction challenge on Wattpad.

I have, for the first time since writing papers in college, finished a piece of writing.

Today we have to submit and it makes me very nervous, to submit something creative to be read by strangers.

Not nervous. Terrified.

Thanks for listening.
