I've been reading for awhile but not participating for two reasons. The first is that I feel like I'm walking into a party in progress where everyone already knows each other and you're like, Oh, I don't want to interrupt, they've been friends since second grade or whatever. The second reason is because I'm afraid if I get too involved in this forum, I'll neglect my writing. Okay, but that's not the subject I wanted to address--Actually, what I wanted to ask is whether or not anyone else here has a fear of writing. Like, I'm afraid that inspiration isn't going to come when I sit down to write and that I'm going to just be leaking mucous all over the page/screen instead of Brilliant Literary Genius. Sometimes I feel like I come up with excuses not to write just because I'm so afraid of failure. Okay, so am I just crazy, or does anyone else suffer from composeaphobia? And if you do, how do you get over it?
