Expressions of a fearful soul
Creative writing taps into my soul. Sometimes my writing flows freely. Other times it feels so forced. Why do my creative juices run dry? Is it because I fail to write from my heart? From my emotions? From my very being? Is it because I focus on my audience rather than the outpouring of myself? To write my thoughts and emotions on paper is frightening. It makes me vulnerable. Even though it is most likely that nobody will ever read the words I write, it still evokes emotions of fear and uncertainty. It brings my deepest parts out of hiding and puts them on display for the world to see. For possible rejection. Why is it that rejection is such a scary thought?

Good questions. Ones I can't answer. All I know is I open myself up to that every now and then.
Especially recently in the area of my beliefs and theology. That's very risky. Fortunately I don't answer to people.
