So I’ve recorded some of my poems
And I don’t think they’re half bad
Who knew that in speaking
There’s so much fun to be had
But now I’m in a conundrum
As I need to make a choice
Do I stay safely anonymous
Or finally reveal my voice?

Hah….listen to this….I have built up in my mind an image of you…..do I want to hear your voice and have that image come crashing down? But hang on Don it could enhance that image….Do I want to stay in my world of fantasy or come into the world of reality?……Thinking about this it’s a common situation we all face – the choice of real or fantasy worlds….end of rant

every writer faces that dilemma somewhere along the line — it depends how bad you want publication; I would choose publication all the time: your poems are very good and the quality is consistent !

Well that’s very kind, thank you.
To be honest I’m still amazed anyone reads my ramblings, let alone think anyone would want to listen to them! π¬
I don’t know if it’s vanity, boredom or just looking for a new challenge (it’s most likely all three! π) but I have been having fun recording…

People come to your blog for you, and audio is just another expression of yourself. Sharing more of yourself is only a bold and admirable thing in my opinion. And you’re in total control! You may try it and stop it, or do it only occasionally, so can always go back to the mystique if you choose to :).
And if you’ve been having fun doing it that’s all the justification for doing it :D. But any extra way of expressing yourself is always therapeutic, and since voice is so expressive and so ‘you’, it’s highly therapeutic in my experience.

I’ve recorded quite a few now but I’m still not sure if I’ll release them.
I’ve also loaded a couple of books into KDP as well and, again, not sure I’ll ever have the courage to publish those either.
Damn insecurity π€π
