Scared

I get really scared of writing sometimes.

I love to write, and most days I just do it for myself, but there have been so many times recently where I wished I would’ve published something that I let linger in this sort of perfectionist purgatory that is my drafts folder.

I get scared that it’s not good enough, that people will scoff at it, that no one will give a shit.

Recognizing this, I’m doing something that at least to me, seems crazy.

I’m going to start publishing everything I can, even personal-type stuff I just write to figure out how I feel about something. (Don’t worry, there won’t be any Xanga/LiveJournal/MySpace bullshit on here, or at least, I really hope so.)

This is a personal site, after all, so, while still being occasionally focused on tech or whatever reason it is you found yourself on this page, this site will host whatever else tumbles out of my head because I want to figure out exactly what it is that I want this little piece of the internet to become — and more importantly to figure out exactly what it is I want to be writing about.

I love doing this, but I’m tired of being scared of putting it in front of people. I intend to fix that. To hell with being scared.
