In class prompt #1

      I myself am not necessarily afraid of writing or reading. Instead I find it much harder to allow others to see the writings I have made. I always find myself writing then throwing away pieces of work simply because they don't seem good enough. I try to have confidence in myself, but some days it is harder than what I feel it should be. I let only my close friends read the things I write making it hard for me to find true criticism other than my own. Only a few teachers have ever seen my true writing, where I allow myself to try new things or ideas. Instead most receive, in my standards, below average work that lacks interest or significance. This may be due to my high standards I personally set and my low standards for another persons' work. I like to use a lot of describe details when I become comfortable, but I feel when I do I forget about organization or that I am adding to much detail and that the relevance of the subject i am writing becomes useless. I wish to write so that people feel when they read it, but I also want to improve my ability to move people in a more professional way. I do not need to be able to start key ideas for a revolution, but merely be proud of my work when I am finished. I feel that the anxiety that overwhelms a person as they are writing, much like a 20 ton rock hovering overhead, add stress to a writer making them crack and make errors.
