Fear of failure and anonymity in blogging
Other websites that I rate highly
What I will write
I never thought that I’d publish my writing on a public forum because I felt too intimidated. I also thought that I had nothing important to say and didn’t want to waste people’s time. With blogs – depending on the genre – you let out your personal opinions. My apprehension was that I didn’t want anybody to disagree with what I wrote. I also believed that I was not the most gifted writer. However, after these last few years, I’ve realised that writing allows me to feel clarity in my thoughts. This calming sense of productivity and ability to lose track of time was a helpful distraction. In terms of the judgement from others and the potential for disagreement around the content of my blog, I decided that I need to do this for me and that the reasons that I was avoiding starting was to do with hypotheticals regarding people other than myself. If this writing is not to someone’s taste, I completely understand…so save yourself the misery and find something else to look at. Here are some of my favourite websites:
Why have you kept your name undisclosed?
I decided to keep the blog anonymous due to the fact that I have a fear of failure. If this blog became a topic of ridicule, I wouldn’t want my family to be disappointed or embarrassed by me. I was also interested to see how people interpreted my writing without the insight into who I truly am. It’s also quite provocative, I think. It is like I’m a much less important Batman.
What content will be found in this blog?
1. Whatever I feel like writing on that day.
2. My passions and things I find interesting.
There is no fixed genre to this blog, so posts may be completely different from one another. Overall, I hope that you enjoy your time on this website - but if you don't - my wish is that you find a more compelling and rewarding activity that is more worthy of your time.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional writer - if you hadn't guessed. Therefore, if my grammar or spelling is incorrect, please humour me.
