I'm curious to see if anyone I know can find me like this. How anonymous am I? Freedom to write, but to be unknown - better than a pseudonym, I hope.
Maybe I don't have any secrets worth hiding, but I can imagine some of my thoughts becoming fuel for others' fires. And I don't care about the fires of random, anonymous, unknown, others, but I would hate to be discovered by others who know me, who could and might attack me with their fire. Is it safe to muse here?
I wonder if I would find it worse to be unread, or to be criticized for my writing. This is quite the experiment, you see. I have long dreamed of writing my book. I edge forward and am inspired in my determination, and then am scared away again by the weight of my subject(s) and the scope of my desires. My husband told me today that I will write when I forget to worry about writing. So this test may not be any advance for me, except that it keeps my fingers tap-tapping on the keyboard.
I'm going to post this musing, and immediately start drafting my thoughts for today. We'll see how far this goes. My doubt asks how long I'll do this before I give up because...well, because my doubt always gets in the way. Standard writer's block, I suppose.
Anyway - inward and onward it is.
