Barriers

What keeps me from writing?

Fear
Fear of what people will say
fear no one will say anything.
Fear of looking dumb, not having the "right" opinion
Fear of sounding dumb
Fear of having no new thoughts, nothing to say
Fear of causing someone to worry about me
Fear of making someone mad

Forgetting
I should start carrying around notecards like some famous writer I heard of, maybe Anne Tyler

Complacency
I'll do it tomorrow...

I heard Nora Roberts say once that you can fix bad writing, but you can't fix not writing.

So here's to writing!
