On “Show don’t tell.”:

In writing, it’s better to show than to tell. This is because the best stories that show can transform and move us. 

I had fears. Fears that I could not write. Fears to open and expose my personal life.

Writing meant that anyone online could see and judge my work. But what if I blundered? Wrote the wrong thing? How would my family and friends react? Did I want to take all that responsibility?

Because of fear, I almost quit blogging without trying.
