I know what you mean about it being hard to self-promote. I always fuss about cross-posting things, or even posting them at all. But for me, I think it's sort of a reversed thing - I feel much more self-conscious about posting my opinions or my feelings or anything about RL, than I do about posting fic. My hope is that what I write is entertaining - people may not like it, but I do, or I wouldn't do it. Whereas I feel my "real life" is boring.

Sometimes, I think posting what I've written for a prompt is even harder than something I came up with on my own, because what if I haven't fulfilled the prompter's vision? And, as someone who writes fanfic, everything is 'just because.'

I think of myself as a writer, because I write - for me, that's the only definition that makes sense.
