Stand Out

Daily writing prompt
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

I was an IT manager until my job was moved to India. At that point I became a stay at home Dad, which worked out great for my family. Unfortunately, and because I’m naturally introverted, I liked the seclusive lifestyle. Now, I’ve published my books and to get anywhere I need to promote myself. I am notorious for under-promotion. The idea terrifies me, of doing book signings, book talks and similar events. I did an art show in December to promote my books. I did all right, but my wife was much better at promoting me. I don’t like standing out. Sometimes I wonder why I even published a book. It’s my contradiction, one side resisting and the other side pushing. I made the story a trilogy and book three is half done. I guess I’m stuck with the process for now.
