Fears that come from your writing
Today I started feeling some fears about my new book and the final edits. So I decided to write some six word memoirs. See mine below. Share whatever fears you have that come from your writing in six words.
Storms come.Tears pour. Exposed vulnerabilities.
Why am I so scrared now?
Am I about to self sabatoge?
The answer is surrender right now.
I let go and sit with fears.
I see them as they are.
I welcome them into my heart.
I keep sitting without an agenda.
I just sit without running away.
The lesson is to just be.

wow....I can really relate. why do we get so scared of ourselves? Here are a couple about me right now. I definitely struggle against the voices that constantly criticize. Here are mine for the day.
what genre is me? poetry calls
will it let me fly, truly?
my voice sings through momentary observations
Yet the critics melt my wings
Is poet a viable, and real pursuit?
embrace the siren song, I try.
Somehow I will find myself there
Poetry is my true writing home -

i feel it--writing reveals inner truths you don't see coming--yet you can't stop no matter how scared. i wrote "Vapor" as writing seems to bring out all my secrets
Vapor
This body's breath
caught sharp and held
I hold it and like water
it escapes my fingers and spills
over my toes
whenI am thirsty
asking too much from my body
when I am not enough
I give it tea and fruit and poisons
I exhale the fumes of vices
herbal or smoky and fine
licking at these wet fingers
that let a pen scratch
let a word be plucked
from a curl of steam
this body's breath
will learn it can't hold what is borrowed
and maybe then stop
cupping and drinking
hold and take nothing
it's enough just to breathe
let the vices unthread from the seams
of the spine into origami wings
taking flight in paper vees
and leave me in the water
enough -
