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.

Hi everybody -- great word creations here!

Here are my six-word fears :)

What’s the point? Will anyone read?

My story is my child. Careful!

This story is in me…somewhere…

Edits: too many or too few?

Leap without a net? Got to!

Exactly how I feel today, Judith.

I have given birth, created something

My book is part of me.

Yet sharing it is the goal.

Supporters help me leap without fear!

Love conquers fear, I am told.

I just added myself to this group and have tons to accomplish today, as usual. My memoir for today is:

Everyday challenges strengthen my inner resolve.
