By Alicia McLachlan.
Even though I’ve been
writing (with varying degrees of commitment) for over fifteen years, I have
only recently started to send my pieces out for feedback. For so long, the idea
of sharing my writing terrified me; it felt egotistical to think my writing was
good enough to put out into the world. On the flip side, I was also halted by
the fear that I would find out that I was, in fact, a terrible writer; that I
should give up. Because I enjoyed the act of writing in and of itself, I
decided doing just that was enough for me.
