If ever there was evidence that I could never be a professional writer, it is all here: I panic whenever I am read, my first reaction to withdraw, purge and bulk-delete. Always, always the same reaction. Gone two novels, one book and a thousand posts, taken back in alarm. I guess I’m just not confident in my own words. I wonder if this is some kind of phobia that might one day be cured.
