Ten fears

1. Going blind.
2. Going deaf.
3. Losing my love of music.
4. Running out of ideas for stories (or would this be a great relief?)
5. Choking to death.  Alone.
6. My little old house falling down.
7. Not meeting my expectations for my writing.
8. Receiving a horrible review, one so bad that I’d never write again.  (But if I must never write again, I’d rather it be by my own hand – e.g. from running out of ideas – than by someone else’s.)
9. Contracting AIDS.
10. Waking up to the realisation that my on-line life is more active than my real life.
