and only realize how much of one you are when you are showing some people you barely know your Wattpad account (and they like have nice professional blogs about writing and reading) and you're just like,

"Yeah poems, randomness book, Hamilton fanfiction, this one's a Doctor Who fanfiction, a sequely poetry book, here's a fanfic I collaborate on, and another one, and another. . ."

At least I'd known one of them from years ago, so it wasn't as bad as it could've been.

I was like, "But I am working on a bigger project! That's no fanfiction!"

Also they read one of my poems and really liked it. 😅
