hi Pam, i am a nobody in the music industry but i do write and you should not be embarrassed at all about what you right (if that is it) because it is an extension of you and how you feel at the moment in your life. that is what makes each piece it's own work of art. i write metal, easy listening, country and even some rap. i enjoy playing fast country most but if you write because it relaxes you then let it out. expect that some people will not like it, as i am sure you don't like every type of music that is played. remember also if it sounds like something already out there it will probably get looked over. so it is better to be different. i think it is great that you are taking this step. good luck to you. tim
