Three people so far have asked me when I'm going to start reading my poetry at shows and sadly I'm unable to give them an answer. Actually, I can, but I'm too embarrassed to tell them; I have horrible stage fright. And the ironic thing is that I want to write songs for artistes and to do that I'd have to perform the songs for the artiste to hear lol. Just the thought of going on a stage, or just performing for that matter scares me. I get nervous, my mouth gets dry, my heart races and I tremble.

What's also a twisted irony is that I have a good singing voice! I've sang in choirs (mezzo soprano mind you) but the two times I tried singing solo were disastrous. I sounded like I couldn't carry a tune. That's the reason I decided to give up my dream of becoming a professional singer and focus on writing and producing because I realized that even though I have the talent I don't have what it takes to perform. So the question for me now is, what do I do with all this work I'm creating? I can't just leave it here, can I?
