Why am I doing this really?

Buggered if I know! It feels a little strange to be writing stuff which could be read by just about anybody. Aashish suggested I use this space to host the bits of writing I'm doing now, but how can I say this without sounding insufferably coy? It's hard to make public things that are so personal. True, the stories I've got so far are not about me or anyone I know, but it still feels like I would be posting a piece of me for all the world to see and talk about and that's really unsettling. So guess I should forget about ever becoming a famous author!!
