I don't want to be famous..

I never really aimed for fame and fortune. Or maybe more accurate. I never ever aimed for fame. I just don’t want to be famous.

Which from time to time makes this whole writing thing very difficult for me.

I have another writing project. A niched one [horses] I regretfully must admit to been fiddling around with for the past almost twenty years!

Twenty years is along time, for some even a lifetime. And here’s the thing. The “fame” bit is what scares me. I don’t want to be famous by name.

If anything I want to be famous for my words.

My mind.

My thoughts.

My ideas.

Not my name.

Not my face.

This makes a huge obstacle when writing the sometimes not so political correct essays, articles and blog posts.

Cause I am scared of the scrutiny across the web.

The evil within the trolls.

The evil within some of the “colleagues” out there who will aim for the jugular even when not in the direct line of fire.

That is why I also keep Saving Memories. Not only to save my memories to the world that one day will be left behind.

But this is also my playground.

I can play with words, ideas, share what I want to share and practise on getting those words together.

Words that in my other project needs to come together. Cause this time around I have promised myself not to cave in.

Not to give up.

Not to change my writing to suite others.

Not to bend for the eventual trolls along the way.

Just do it!

Build my brand!

Build my persona!

Be confident!

Build a business!
