Nerve wracking. I'm was approaching my 50s. I'd been a reader all my life. I'd written something close to a million words of blog posts. None of that was anything like me writing my first short story; trying to take something in my head and put it down on paper. Or on screen. You know what I mean.
I distinctly remember sitting in bed, reading through it out loud, correcting minor errors here and there; then doing it ONE... MORE... TIME... before I hit send and told my wife, "I did it."
I remember a LOT of points along my journey to becoming a writer. That right there was a pretty big one, though.

Watch out for that first step, it's a doozy!
It's always hard to send that story out into the world, or at least it is for me. But I love what you've put out there, Sam. Keep it up!
