Naivety World

After ruminating on WordPress since July, I am finally posting my first story. This is actually the third time I’m joining wordpress. I deleted my first two accounts because my boyfriend at that time felt I wrote too much smut. It was embarrassing for him. Let’s all laugh together. So have I gotten braver? Or am I just ticking off something on my ‘to do’ list? Nope. I am in fact trying to get as many of my words out as fast as possible because they are driving me nuts. A writer writes or goes nuts.

Okay. I may have gotten ahead of myself. Like a well brought up girl, let me first introduce myself. My name is Margaret, a content creator and writer. It took me a long while before I called myself a writer, even way after self-publishing my first book on Amazon. It was not one of those things people considered as a title or career when I was growing up, and I was too timid to question it or explore it. I did what any normal girl in my position would have done, I wrote bits and pieces of stories on bits and pieces of paper and eventually threw them away, so I could focus on more important things, like getting a 9-5, a husband and splitting everything 50/50. I quickly realized that wasn’t for me. Especially the 50/50. I’m just a girl, please.

I am also an avid reader of novels. I started reading when I was in class 6. We had this shop near our school that allowed me to exchange an old book for a new book for only 20 kshs per book. In my case, it was novels. They weren’t exactly new new, but they were new to me. So I always had that extra 20 kshs every week so I could have a new book. Soon, it was 40 kshs every week. Then 60 kshs. The shop owner wouldn’t allow more than 3 books in one exchange. Which was okay. I had slowly graduated from reading Sweet Valley High to Sweet Valley University. And they were thicker so more words for me to read. How did I even manage all this when I had homework every day? Lol. Maybe if I was more tenacious in my writing as I was in my reading, I would have been a recognized author by now, but I digress. I was introducing myself, with far less titles than Maximus Decimus Meridius,

Yes, you guessed it. I watch a lot of movies. I prefer them epic and action but once in a while I’ll sit down with a rom-com and bawl my eyes out. It gives me more than enough excuse to finish a bottle of wine and add a couple of pounds. I really should get back to the gym. It is more fun than home workouts. I digress again.

I’m sure by now; you have noticed a certain pattern. I do get distracted a lot; because one thought will lead to another and another and another. But also, such is life. You’ll start off saving money for one thing and end up spending it on another. How did I get to adulting anyway? I’m just a girl.
