@provocatrixxx said: I feel the same, which is why I don’t
write anymore. I suspect some of it has to do with being so much more
aware of other peoples’ judgement these days – I used to write because I
wanted to write so I wrote the best I could to represent myself. Now,
I’m scared of putting too much of myself out there, and I overthink, and
I throw out anything I can reasonably believe won’t get me judged too
harshly. It’s a shame. 🙁       

🙁  Trix, that’s so sad!  You’re such a beautiful writer.  Could it help if you try writing without the expectation that you’ll publish it?  I mean you don’t HAVE to put it out there to show the world.  You could write for yourself, or for a few people you like and trust who you know will enjoy it.  You could just keep it in a GoogleDoc or something and give the link out to people you want to show it to.

I hope you can find your way back to it one day.  I miss your lovely words!
