I’m scared that if I write in earnest (i.e do more than just journaling or the occasional writing exercise), it’ll end up feeling too much like work/just another chore on my list.
My biggest writing fear (of which there are many, all fighting for an equal voice) is probably... "Will I ever find the right fit", be it publishers, agents, audience. And it's a fear that has no answer other than "Who knows?"
My biggest fear is that my writing simply isn't up to standard. It's not rational, and it doesn't stop me writing, but it does make me shy of submitting/pitching.
Hey pal - been a long while! What a coincidence, just last week happened to re-read "A sincere warning ..." Glad you're helping writers tackle (and understand) their fears. I shall do my bit, too!
Well done, Shel. Not only have you opened up so courageously, but you are the first person to ever comment on this blog! You shall go down in history, I tell you.
I can also tell you that I will deal with this fear in a future post! :) Thank you!

Great fear, Becky! I will cover this on the blog. Thank you for sharing. :)

Thank you for sharing, Lord Power! I'm sure countless people who read your comment will relate. Will definitely cover this sort of thing on the blog!
