Should all writing be public? Surely, there are words that are better left private. I’m often tempted to remove many posts in this blog. They are too revealing, too painful to remain open for scrutiny by all. Maybe the scariest possibility is that of the words being judged as petty, weird or selfish.
This is why I do not advertise my identity openly (not that you have to be Sherlock to figure it out). My readers are invite only, or unknown strangers.
I suspect this is why I relate to 750words.com. Should the fear of judgement win over the possibility of something written resonating with your friends, loved ones and complete strangers? Every writer must decide for himself.
