I have always enjoyed writing but I am pretty shy about asking people to read my work, mainly because I just feel like a cheese when I try and self-promote.  I actually really love it when people read my work and let me know what they think about it, even if the response isn't 100% positive. 

I don't know how much time I'll have to write, since I have quite a few things going on right now, but if I know that people are reading then I will make a definite effort to give them more of what they want.
