I was discussing writing recently, and the question of whether there was any fear with putting work out came up. The thought of criticism, dislike, or similar result can cause writer’s block, or other issues.
But, I’m not sure that’s the worst case. What if what you’re putting out doesn’t even matter, to you or the reader?
Stakes. An artist needs stakes. Otherwise, is it even art? Not that everything has to be life and death, but there should be a little blood on the page.
