Stepping forward

Sep 20, 2011 15:14

I just put up a piece of fanfiction in an earlier post. It has to be to date the most embarrassing thing I've ever written. Yes, even more embarrassing than my blatant self-insertion Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction from when I was 15 that I'm going to finish one day because some stories need to be told. And now I'm sitting here thinking, "If I was able to share this, why can't I share the rest of my stories?"

Yes, most of my writing isn't so titillating. Or controversial (I'm sure someone who shouldn't read this will and shit a brick. My words to you: FUCK OFF. THIS IS MY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.). But it would be out there for everyone to read.

That's the sound of my insecurity as a writer crumbling a little. With it, I'm going to step forward and transcribe my work. It's the least I can do. Besides, it's good exercise for NanoWriMo. (I have to write on paper or stories won't come out. Very rare pieces are wholly written digitally.)

Welp, into the breach.

writing, epiphany
