Why I started this podcast

Hello everyone! I’m Kathrin Classen, and welcome to My Little Library of Lost Short Stories. This little library has been in the making for many years, but too often, I’ve let fear get the better of me. I have a backlog of short stories sitting in my computer. Short stories that I thought no one wanted after they were rejected from one publication or another. Short stories that I thought had lived out their lives, so they sat ignored, unloved, and worst of all, rejected by me… Until now. I’ve always taken the safe, practical path. But today, I choose to give myself permission to let go of the fear that’s been holding me back. I choose to share my stories with the world in a way that I find really fun and interesting. I am giving myself permission to silence that voice in the back of my head that keeps telling me I’m making a fool out of myself. So, without further ado, grab something soothing to drink, a warm blanket or two, and let’s journey together into the pages of my short stories. Thanks for being here with me.Song: PistachiosArtist: KiaMusic by: CreatorMix.com This is a public episode.
