Taking a risk

Today I took a risk that I have fought for several years now. I posted the first 2 chapters of a novel I wrote in the mid 90s here on writing.com for feedback from other writers. I have let my husband and my neighbor read the story but haven't even allowed my friends who know I wrote the book, read it. The past 2 years have been a total nightmare for me and my writing is the only thing that keeps me sane. And until last week I had even given up on that. But slowly my world is beginning to come back around to what is normal for me and I have found myself drawn back to my writing more and more. I am frightened of what people will think of my story but there are so many more I want to write it just seemed like the time to jump in. So today I jumped with both feet. Whether I sink or swim is up to the writing.com members that rate my endeavor.
