I resolved to write without fear and to ignore those lingering anxious feelings when pressing ‘send’ on any piece of writing. Writers who have just begun to write are discouraged early on by the fear that writing can be a dicey proposition. This is not to say that writers should feel sorry for themselves or feel they are somehow entitled to carte blanche. Writing for any audience is inherently a public proposition, and the audience always reserves the right to react to your work. I’m sure I will look back upon at least half of my current writing in 10 years and cringe.
