@bohemeterra Ohhh, have fun in Paris! And what kind of doggy do you have? (And what was the name?!?! XD) About the confidence when writing... Don't worry... It never gets better :'D
Because I have literally nobody to tag on this website (except, well, you, and one other), I'll just give you five facts about myself here in the comments, if you don't mind XD
1) I have been writing for about ten years now. The first fanfiction I ever wrote was a horrible Shaman King, Ren x OC story. The OC was a perfect example of a Mary Sue and I thankfully no longer have a copy of it on my computer.
2) I secretly like reading chick flicks because they are easy and fast to read. After reading lots of literature at uni, I like reading brainless material the most.
3) I am obsessed with pugs. My boyfriend keeps saying, "When we have kids later", and my first retort is always, "Oh, you mean our future pugs?"
4) Speaking of obsessions, I like to write and read angst the most. I even have a Spotify playlist called "Angst is love, angst is life", where I place all the songs that give me even the slightest angst itch. Sometimes I wonder where this unhealthy obsession for darkness and doom comes from.
5) I am asexual and have never been sexually attracted to anybody. For me, emotions are the most important aspects of sex scenes, whether writing or reading them, and there are many no-gos that instantly make me turn away from any lemon (oral is one of my biggest turn offs, for example).
