Fear of Writing

    I'm not necessarily afraid of writing, more like afraid of how people will perceive my writing. Wondering if i used the right words,  if they liked my argument or they were silently tearing it apart. But it's something that must be done, if you don't write then how will other people know what you think. They're not mind readers, just regular readers. 
     I don't take writing as seriously as Jacques Derrida because I don't think that anything i write will profoundly change anyone's life. Thats not to say anyone's writing wont change the outcome of anything, look at Thomas Paine's Common Sense this started the Revolutionary War, Uncle Tom's Cabin started the Civil War. The Jungle led to a total re-evaluation of the governments standards on food. Writing has the potential to change anything, you just need the proper audience to effect that change.
