Forwards and occasionally sidewards – everyday musings of life

What makes you nervous?
View all responses

When I first decided to start blogging I was extremely nervous about hitting the Publish button. Writing for my own enjoyment was one thing, but sharing was a scary prospect.

What if people didn’t like what I’d written. What if I inadvertently offended someone. What if my humour or style of writing put people off from ever reading my blog again.

I still pause and do that one extra read before I hit Publish, just in case I’ve missed anything.

…one more read through, then I’ll publish this post…

    I read your post under my project of ‘ read 2, write 1 per day’. Though I have had such nervousness ever bcz I write and publish for my own interest, without bothering about others opinion I felt your words when I read the post. I hope you’ll overcome your nervousness and write many more sincere posts!

      Thank you for your kind words. In a weird way the nervousness adds to the excitment of blogging.
