Hi,
So, a small press has offered me a contract. I am excited; this is something I've wanted for a long time. And yet...!
I have so much anxiety about signing! I reviewed the contract itself and I think it's fine. My fear/anxiety I think has more to do with the fact that I've been pretty secretive about my writing. Most of the people close to me don't know that I write fiction. I'm almost ashamed to admit it to them--I feel like I will be forced to reveal this part of myself that I'm not sure I'm ready to reveal.
Has anyone else been here? Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks.
