Am I afraid of writing?

In a sense, yes, I am afraid of writing. I fear the judgements and critiques that come along with publishing any writing (such as in this public blog). When I do take the time to write, I feel like I have to prove myself to my readers. I carefully select every word, in hopes of sounding both informed, while keeping an approachable voice. No one wants to be judged or harshly critiqued when doing anything. For me, writing is vulnerable, and my thoughts and opinions have some special meaning to me, making it harder to have others reject my work. Publishing even one crappy piece of writing gives anyone the chance to give me a label. I know when I read a thoughtless piece of writing filled with linking verbs and a lame analysis, I judge the writer. I label them as lazy and uninformed. Why would I expect my readers to hold back judgement? This is why I fear writing.
Jacques Derrida takes writing so seriously, I questioned how serious he was. When I write, I do not over-analyze every word or argument I have. I do not fear being negatively viewed because I took a controversial stance or because I may have a different opinion than one of my readers. To me, a good writer can organize their opinions and analysis in a way that is easy to understand. I do not take writing as seriously as Derrida because I see no reason for the extra stress. A majority of writers will never change their opinion based on my essay, but I put in time to prove to my readers that my thoughts are valid, even if not what they consider correct.
