Intimidation Be Damned!

I know...this puppy has been sitting idle for much too long.  I got busy with work, life...yadda, yadda, yadda.  And truth be told, I ran out of steam.  Turns out fun, creative, inspiring ideas don't come on demand.  And just so I'm brutally honest, it got a little intimidating out in the blogging world.  Turns out I'm not the funnest, most creative, awe-inspiring writer out there.  *insert gasp of shock*

Blogging is a vulnerable act.  Putting your personal thoughts on paper...err, computer screen...and sending them out into the Internet world for all to see is like signing up for Judgment Day - and continuing to do so with every entry.  (Ok, that's a very dramatic statement, but you get my drift.)

But I'm thinking even the tried-and-true (and most followed) bloggers may have had similar feelings of inadequacy at some point.  But they just went for it.  Why can't I?  What's the worst that can happen?  Being ridiculed for my ideas, of course...but hey, I would say the most important gurus in history have faced the same fate, yet forged ahead.  (I know, I'm getting dramatic again.)

So here's my vow: the next time I'm feeling fun and/or creative and/or inspired, I'll take the plunge.  Intimidation be damned!
