Hey there! I’m an author, a true craftsman of written tales. I thrive in the world of words, creating vibrant landscapes, evoking emotions that touch the depths of the soul, and igniting revolutions – all from the quiet corner of my writing desk.
Face to face, however, that’s a whole different ballgame.
In written words, I am a powerhouse, but in conversation, I feel like a clumsy painter in a public speaking class, where my words tend to scramble into an abstract, incomprehensible mess.
I could attribute this to my anxious nature or my introverted personality, or perhaps my preference for interactions that are safely tucked behind a screen. But rather than delving into a deep psychoanalytical explanation, let’s keep things light and humorous, shall we?
Picture a sleek, top-of-the-line car, decked out with heated seats, cruise control, and even a cooler for your drinks. Yet, despite all its glamour, it sputters and stalls when you turn the key in the ignition. That, my friends, is me in a verbal exchange – all geared up with thoughts, opinions, and knowledge, but utterly unable to start the conversation engine.
And then there’s the spotlight, my nemesis. When its harsh glare finds me, it feels like I’ve been thrown into the middle of a fierce storm. My heart beats a frantic rhythm, my insides wobble and quiver like a jelly on a washing machine, and my once-creative mind decides it’s the perfect time for a game of hide-and-seek.
Isn’t it a fascinating paradox? Hand me a pen, and I’ll craft an epic saga. Hand me a microphone, and you’ll be met with a stunned silence that speaks louder than any words could.
But amidst this comedic catastrophe, there’s a glimmer of hope. Just as the protagonists in my stories face and overcome their trials and tribulations, I too am determined to change the narrative of my story.
The day will come when I’ll confidently step into the spotlight, my heartbeat a calming melody, my mind clear and focused. I’ll not only craft stories with my pen, but I’ll share them with the world, my voice ringing out clear and strong. When that day arrives, I’ll look back at these days with a smile, perhaps even penning a heartfelt speech about my journey.
Until then, writing is my sanctuary. So, if you’re looking for me, I’ll be in my cozy corner, passionately weaving worlds with words, one meticulously typed sentence at a time.
