Not just when I'm getting critted, but in general, the idea that people are reading what goes on in my head makes me feel naked.Valerie Kemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795714434618357955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740020593647189165.post-73286426769015499012011-06-15T09:18:50.994-04:002011-06-15T09:18:50.994-04:00Ella--I totally understand that!

I wouldn't let my own husband read my work for over a year! And when he did I winced and cringed just watching him read it. It got to the point that he refused to read my work in the house because he hated watching me watch him read!<br /><br />It was just as bad when I let my 8yo son read my work. I write MG so he is my audience! I can't believe I was scared of the opinions of my 8yo son! <br /><br />I actually think it's harder sending my work to family and friends rather that writing colleagues. My writing friends understand the process. But with family and friends I am just worried about disappointing them.<br /><br />But it's getting better. My confidence is definitely improving!Ella Schwartzhttp://ellaschwartz.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740020593647189165.post-76588343208374950592011-06-14T13:57:14.105-04:002011-06-14T13:57:14.105-04:00Heather--I don't know if I'll ever get pas...Heather--I don't know if I'll ever get past the nervous part, but I'm still not sure I want to. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255908019822363456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740020593647189165.post-1841471839392861862011-06-14T12:48:01.267-04:002011-06-14T12:48:01.267-04:00It used to make me really nervous but not anymore....It used to make me really nervous but not anymore. With each bit of work sent out for others to read it got easier and easier.
