Fear of Writing

I attended a webinar last week presented by a couple of authors. They offered tips on writing and self-publishing. One of them said something that really hit home for me. She said she does not believe in writer’s block. She said it is actually fear; fear of what others will think.

I also saw this same topic on my Twitter timeline. The tweet was “Fear stops most people from writing, not lack of talent, whatever that is…”

I admit that fear has stopped me in my writing. Stepping out with this blog was a chore for me. I really didn’t want to put myself out there. Writing a book will be even more challenging. Who wants to hear what I have to say? I guess I’ll never know till I put it out there. I won’t give up. What’s the worst that can happen?
