Publishing publicly is weird. I have virtually no followers and started this blog for myself. And it's not like blogs have some sort of peer review requirement. That said, I have started four and almost completed two posts that I'm scared to slap up on the intertubes for fear of saying something 'wrong.' Offending someone.
As one of my impending posts is titled You Can't Please Everybody, you'd think that I'd be a little more comfortable having an opinion, acknowledging others may or may not agree, and leaving it at that. I also believe that opinions change as one is confronted with new information (hence the name of the freaking blog), so even if I did change my mind regarding a post, it's not like I couldn't write a new one incorporating new thoughts into my modified belief. Hence my curiosity and annoyance with pausing to post.
It makes me wonder how people with well-traveled blogs do it. But I'm making myself write stuff publicly to learn and grow from the experience. Hopefully the more I do write, and the more I (hopefully) hear others' feedback, the better I'll get. Part of the process.
