Self-Conscious Block

I have not posted in almost 2 weeks, why?
Because I've forgotten to?--no.
Because I've been busy?--no.
Because I didn't want to?--nope.

In these 2 weeks I've scratched down many different post ideas. 14 actually. I've even written several. They're saved as drafts.

I get this block sometimes. The wanting to look good block. The feeling self-conscious block. If I can't take major time to think through and edit my writing I put it off for "sometime". And naturally, I get really backed up and never write or post at all. Same with journal entries. Same with writing people back in email.

A similar block also occurs coming home from our morning running group. I play and replay a slightly stupid thing I said that (probably) only I remember. Maybe I shared too much, maybe I shared it in the wrong light, or maybe I didn't share when I should have. It blocks me from feeling good about what were probably pretty positive interactions.

So I want to defy my self-conscious block! I want to not care what you think about this post! I want to publish a poorly written sentence and a misspelled word and not care!...But have I already reread and rewritten this several times? Hm, yes.

Just know if you think something I write in the future is poorly done, it's actually progress. Onward then!

Do you think writing disclaimers is giving in to the self-consciousness? Doh!
