Help me be less "me": An experiment

I forgot about this blog.  I spend to much time writing my novel that I tend to forget about journaling or blogging beyond "OMGGGG REBLAWG".  Tumblr.  Jfc.

I think I'm going to use this to talk about (?) my writing.  We'll see how that works.  Hopefully this will help with a serious marketing problem I have which is I can not (NOTNOTNOT) talk about myself.  It's damn near impossible.  In real life, when people ask me about anything in regards to myself, I have become a master at spinning it back around to be about the asker.  For instance:

"Sarah, what kind of novel are you writing?"

*internal scream*

"It's still in the rough stages, but it's an epic involving a female pirate smuggling goods across alien infested waters.  What do you like to read?"

I said one sentence about my book (by the by, it took me a long time before I could figure out even that) and turned it around to where the other person would politely talk about themselves while I get to nod and try not to cry.  (Introvert, 'sup.)  Most people like talking about themselves so this usually works out for me.  I guess if I were ever to meet someone like me it would either go swimmingly or we'd both stare at each other till Schrodinger's cat starts yodelling.

So, this is me trying to not be that part of me anymore.

Okay, well...  now what?
