No Pressure (honest)

Well I’ve had a nice day off and been working on my book and my Twitter page (in between GTAV online breaks) and suddenly a few things have dawned on me.

One – my book (Behind The Mask) which is a total reworking of the original idea including new found poems, new bio and even new art. While it is slowly taking shape, it reminds me that it’s all my personal feelings about things laid bare. This is a scary concept – What if people don’t like it, don’t get it? What if I don’t like it when it’s done?

Two – my personal Twitter feed @DrBobChristian (feel free to join me) has exploded in followers from around 500 to well over 5,000.  This again is a scary thing as there is now an expectation to be witty, amusing and even clever. For those who have ever met me in person, you’ll know that I’m far from those things. I’m a lot of things, but not those things!

So, in short, this has me feeling some kind of pressure.  But hey, it’s all good fun and part of a learning curve.

Stay great x
