My Fear of Publishing

That’s right. I have a fear of publishing stories. I’m not sure if that is an understandable or irrational fear. I’ve been writing fiction more seriously in the past months and when it comes time to edit and publish, I hesitate because a piece of me is afraid it will be judged once it is published. The hilarious part is I don’t actually have readers for my short stories just yet. But a part of me still worries that a piece of me is out on there in the wild west of the internet waiting to be judged and critiqued.

I’m worried it’s going to be shitty and someone will recognize it and point it out. But maybe the only thing I have control over is to put in my best while writing my stories, to the best of my ability, and come to terms with the fact that some of what I put out will suck for sure. To me, not putting it out at all is far worse than being critiqued and that closes the case.

  231. Об уме государя первым делом судят по
    тому, каких людей он приближает
    к себе; если это люди преданные и
    способные, то люди уверены в его мудрости, ибо он сумел распознать их способности и удержать их преданность.
    Если же они не такие, то о государе заключают,
    что первую оплошность он уже совершил, выбрав плохих помощников.

    Zoe Lofgren, who sits on the House committee probing the insurrection, to warn that the ex-President had issued a “call to arms.”
    “Calling out for demonstrations if, you know, anything adverse, legally, happens to him, is pretty extraordinary. And I think it’s important to think through what message is being sent,” the California Democrat told CNN’s Pamela Brown on Sunday.
    In yet another sign of Trump’s incessantly consuming inability to accept his election loss, he issued a statement that same evening slamming former Vice President Mike Pence for refusing his demands to overturn the result of the democratic election in 2020, and falsely claimed that the then-vice president had the power to do so.
