Blogging And The Lady

Writing for an audience is dare I say...hard...ok, let's just say, challenging. It's one thing to write in one's personal diary, and another thing entirely to write in a public domain. Just entertaining the thought of writing a post and my insides freeze over and my brains frizzles up, whooosh! I just seem to go into automatic shutdown mode. Then I start thinking, what is the matter with me??! Is it fear? YES you bet it is. 

          Writing a public blog means putting yourself out there, being vulnerable, and that is damn hard for us so-called "strong types". It is unveiling one's heart to criticism and the scrutiny of all and sundry, and that's  quite a scary thought. Maybe I'm not so strong after all...

          How can I shift this dynamic?? I need to shift this dynamic!!!!! Writing is usually fun, so why is it so difficult now??!! What to do, what to do?? Maybe I'm just meant to be a closet writer...but what about the exciting possibilities of sharing thoughts and ideas with people all around the world?? I must persevere...

         Why am I even blogging..? This is exactly why. Because I fear to do so, hence, I must. I'm going to blog until I overcome this fear, yep.
