the spotlight

The center of attention. I was thrust into the spotlight at a young age after being cast in a major blockbuster film when I was only six years old. We were just about to announce our engagement when Jeff and Tina stole the spotlight and revealed that they were going to have a baby. Being in the spotlight has always made me feel anxious. That's why I decided to remain anonymous when I started publishing my writing.
