Well, that was a leap off a cliff. It went better than I expected, Lots of learning from it. Parts when really well, some not so well. But overall I suprised myself.

I once read only to learn. Everything else felt like a waste of time. But learning also brings me anxiety. I love reading genre crime fiction, it lowers my anxiety, it takes me away from myself, the world.

My two current crime fiction/psychological thriller writers:

Michael Connelly

Frieda Mcfadden

And Thomas Harris - Red Dragon (part of the Hannibal Lecter anthology is absolutely exquisite)

I often felt lost and unconfident in not knowing what I was doing when I was in my 20s. I still don't know what I'm doing but I'm more confident about it. But a brutal hangover reminded me what it was like to be in my 20s and feel lost for a day... in my 20s I'd experience this feeling without even needing a hangover, and often!

I've kept a lot of my life personal, even though most of my stuff is written very personally. But I've crossed a small line into posting about stuff that I haven't before and it feels like very new territory. And more interesting territory.
