Since the lockdown I've been writing a lot more and now it's part of a daily routine (which I'm really happy about), but I find myself feeling embarrassed when someone asks me what I've been up to at home. I'm not working at the moment and very lucky that my partner is able to work from home, but it leads to a lot of friends/family asking just what am I up to with all this free time now... To some, I'll be honest and say that I'm really motivated with my writing and trying to finish a novel finally, but to most I come up with something else. Does anyone else find talking about their writing a bit of a sensitive issue, depending on the person they're talking to? Especially novel writing. Everyone wants to write a novel, sometimes it's like telling people you want to win a million pounds. I often feel like I have to validate my writing by mentioning I've won short story contests or dismiss it entirely as just a hobby. I think it doesn't help that there are those days when you write total crap and question what you're doing with your life XD
Any other closet writers out there?
