Showing Your Work

This week I brought my publications into work.

This is a big deal for me. 

I don’t share my writing life with a lot of people. And with those I do, either they get it or they don’t.

Of course, I could only share it with my English-speaking co-workers since I work in Japan.

One person had the time to read and understand the graphic narrative, “Tita.” For which I was grateful. He actually understood what the point of it was...and that’s a powerful affirmation.

I am hoping the others will have the time to read my work, too. It’s a lot to ask of them since I don’t write entirely in English. 

Overall, this was a pretty big leap for me. I hope I don’t regret it.
