Say it outloud

So I've been toying with idea of writting a book. I have a strange imagination, and have several stories I've always considered putting to paper. I feel strange saying it out loud to people. I don't know if it's because I'm self conscious about it, or because I hate to fail when people know or expect something of me. I'm also not the best with grammar, I get pretty frustrated. I could list excuses for days I'm sure. Maybe I'll give it a try.
