You Can Be Private or Popular

But I haven’t found a way to be both.

For years I have done crazy, backward things like hiding my writing away behind fake names or scrapping entire websites when I get feedback that makes me nervous.

You know, like comments from people I know.

For some reason, I’ve always been afraid to share my writing with people I know “in real life” because I’ve been afraid they will judge me for what I have to say.

I mean, it takes real bravery for me to put myself and my stuff out there after so many years of staying hidden behind virtual walls.

I am the most timid, non-confrontational person you will probably ever meet, and the thought of dealing with internet trolls or just nasty people and their comments online has kept me tight inside my bud, unwilling to blossom.

This scares me.

A lot.

But I’m doing the scary thing anyway because I realized you can’t be popular if you choose to be private.

You can’t grow if aren’t willing to put yourself out there to reach new readers.

Nasty comments?

I’ll ignore them.

Straight up bullies?

I’ll block them.
