Graphophobia

I am a writer with a fear of writing.

I am afraid what I write won't be good.

I am afraid what I write won't be perfect.

I am afraid what I write won't live up to my own ridiculously high standards.

I am afraid what I write won't be liked.

I am afraid what I write won't make sense.

I am afraid what I write won't be useful.

I am afraid what I write won't be meaningful.

I am a writer crippled by the fear of writing.

My new challenge: In order to get over my apparent fear of writing, I'm going to make myself write something here everyday, no matter how random. Hopefully, by writing enough, I will eventually find my voice again. Any helpful hints and suggestions are always welcome. Lord knows I need a new blog title.
