I do too. My family knows but my friends don't. I tend to announce things and fall through on them because of self-sabotage and intrusive thoughts preventing me from finishing them. Which is why I haven't said anything about my writing. I don't want to announce it and get everyone's hopes up, only to not finish. But my goal this year is to complete it, so fingers crossed!

This is something my wife and I have recently discussed. She had a good point, what if for instance you write steamy romance novels and your kids school friends or worse kids school bully find these. The outcome can be life altering not just for yourself but others in your life.

This is just one example of many. Whats your thoughts on this?
