So here I am at Hofstra, and I am blogging. Writing online makes me feel vulnerable and exposed. I am not one to openly voice my opinions and thoughts. I am a very sheltered person when it comes to writing. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy writing...just without the consequences of having someone read and critique my writing. The consequences can be both good and bad. The reader may find my writing to be wonderful or pure trash. It is a risk all writers take. Hopefully, people will connect with my writing and understand my reasoning. That is what I plan to accomplish with this blog.

The fear of putting yourself out there through writing seems to be a common theme for most writers. I know that personally I hate it when people ask me to read things that I've written when they aren't done yet because unless it is completely done I feel like its not very good. I like to have looked over my drafts several times before any of my peers read it. I think that this fear can definitely be expressed over the blogosphere because blogs are such an off-the-top-of-your-head thing that it is hard to blog and feel like it is something that you would like people to judge you on.
