This is not true for me. I am not afraid to write.
I am afraid when I cannot write.
And I am afraid to not write.

I've heard it said that writers are often scared of writing. That for writers, writing is like sky-diving or bungee jumping from a cliff. Writing, sitting before a blank screen, imagining your life's work pouring from your fingertips, can cause panic attacks and adrenaline rushes; paralysis from fear.
This is not true for me. I am not afraid to write.
I am afraid when I cannot write.
And I am afraid to not write.
This is not true for me. I am not afraid to write.
I am afraid when I cannot write.
And I am afraid to not write.
Casualties occur: the rich, fleecy texture of image, its extraordinary plasticity and flexibility, its private nostalgic emotional hues--all are lost when image is crammed into language -- Irvin D. Yalom
