Anyway, this is a great piece. I have a story about a hot lesbian and a Skid Row song that runs along these same lines. Just get it out there. The internet is so damn honest--or at least the needy little pips who comment on blogs can be--and it's sad that "Skywalker12" has as much clout than your loved ones. But since you know all that and you've put your sewing soul into these clothes, then what the heck.

That's exactly it.<br /><br />I'm realizing, too, that fear can be a good thing, you know? The best things in my life have happened when I've moved toward the fear and not away from it. So this post was useful for me, because it highlights where I need to move toward, even though it's scary.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.Jen Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011052819704879104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377149308801306604.post-71578387234581045452010-06-13T19:57:56.931-07:002010-06-13T19:57:56.931-07:00I like you even more, me thinks. It's frighten...I like you even more, me thinks. It's frightening to put yourself out there, knowing that ultimately, the universe will judge you. I had this realization recently about my writing, about why I never (EVER) finish anything. Finishing means it's not mine anymore. It means it's ready for the world, and ultimately ready for ridicule. It's everyone and their mother (and my mother) going, "Oh, so you mean you've been toiling away on this thing for years and THAT'S what you ended up with? Oh." <br /><br />And since I'm a quote nerd, here's one a fellow writer friend posted on facebook recently that you may like: "Fear of failure or success is one and the same. Both are fear of exposure. Not of our strengths, but of our weaknesses."<br /><br />So I say keep on sewing and rejujuing and being the awesome inspiring person that you are. And then post about it, because your blog kicks butt.<br /><br />-RachelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377149308801306604.post-5121466147146450632010-06-13T19:35:20.453-07:002010-06-13T19:35:20.453-07:00Oooh...it certainly does :).
