I am not afraid of writing while I am in the process of doing it. I share that feeling with Jaques Derrida. When I am in the moment, I say what needs to be said. When I look back or think about what I just put down on paper, I quite frankly want to burn it and start to cry just thinking about how others will view it. Writing terrifies me, but excites me at the same time.
I do take writing as seriously as Derrida. I do not think about it as much as he does, but I know that not everyone will look at my writing and see the same thing. I know that one person may love it and agree with me while another may despise it. In the end, this factor just adds to the thrill of writing. Each word, each period, and each space can change the reader's mind.
