Yes, I did that today. I thought I was okay but after my workout, I realized I'd been flashing armpit hair!
But you know what? I'm cool with it. Anyone who has read my books has looked into my heart and soul. Yes, I may disguise certain people, events and even myself, but publishing my fiction is a bit like running around in a tank top without having shaved. If I didn't bare it all, if I try to be dishonest, than the stories wouldn't be compelling and you'd get bored and never remember a word I had written after you finished the book.
However, rest assured that when I came home from the gym and showered, I made sure to take care of business.
Cheers,
Mary

LOL. We've all done it.
Weez :)
Yep. . . as a mom to a teen and two preschoolers, there are days when I'm lucky to fit in a quick shower, let along "take care of business".
Whoever said that writing is like opening a vein is right. . . you gotta write from the heart or it just doesn't sound right.
LOL! Okay, gotta admit that the Julia photo surprised me, but...yep, we've all done it.
And I love your analogy of comparing the hairy situation to writing, Mary--perfect. :-)
M.
I love it! You know me and my tank tops...
And I love this notion of letting it all hang out. Like that quote you introduced me to from Trump: "Go big or go home."
