Intimidated
So I'm finally here where I've dreamed of being for so long, and I'm scared to death. I feel like an idiot come among experts. I don't know how many people are aware of how scathingly some of those of us in profession judge others. If we don't wear powersuits and pearls, well, then what the hell do we know about grammar and literature (and, of course, that is pronounced at liCH-a-ture). If you know me at all, you know I don't do pearls, and the only suits I own are clowny. So basically, I'm screwed. Sigh. I come from the other side of the English tree. I'm the pure poet goofy side. God, I hope somebody here likes that, too. Otherwise, I may be back on the road sooner than expected. I feel very small and of very little worth right now.....
