Vulnerability
Reblogged from atheist, polyamorous skeptics:
Intimacy brings with it the promise of wonderful pleasure as well as the potential for pain.
Whenever we open up to someone, we hope that the other person will do the same. If you meet someone you like, you can try and talk to them and they may respond or they may blow you off. If you ask someone out, they can accept or they may reject you.
It's true for life in general and true for writing. Art can be so personal. Any rejection of it can feel like a rejection of your very self. I like that shaunphilly stresses that it's helpful to went it to reach those who appreciate it. That's the best we can work for even if most people are saying no. I know I want to read this book of his. It sounds cool. And I'll let you all know what I think. It takes some bravery to put yourself out there again and again. Maybe even more so with art or writing.
