Acquaintances/Loved Ones Reading Your Work

I uh, don’t have anything published here but under a different name and at a different place, I do create spicy content and I think I’d rather jump into a vat of molten lava Terminator style than have any of them acknowledge, let alone engage with my work.

Even for things that aren’t about what happens behind closed doors and underneath velvety covers, I tend to feel pretty shy about sharing things I write or create with people I know in regular life. Separating the two feels safe.

Any time I have a new book or something come out, when I tell my mother, she asks “Do you want me to read this?” Which is our secret code for “How much explicit gay sex is in this one?” It works for us.
