Seeing Yourself in Your Books

I find it disconcerting to write an entire book and then have a friend or my husband tell me that the book is SO me. Apparently my personality comes through bright and clear, and it is peppered with details that are very individual to me. Too funny.

And interesting because in real life, I'm somewhat reserved. People tend to only see one side of me unless they are very close to me. I suspect when I publish people are going to be surprised that I wrote what I wrote. lol.

Whatever. I hate it when people insist on judging people as one dimensional. There's always more than meets the eye, and I am no exception. In a way, writing is very freeing because at last people can see more than just your face or the image you choose to present to the world. It's a way to connect and communicate with others when normally you wouldn't have the time or the inclination. Very cool.
