What's your biggest fear in Blogging?

Hmmm. I used to fear to write stories.

They are kind of kiddish and silly.

But then, I posted my FIRST STORY for KFC CONTESTand I got some nice response.

My bhabhi told me that I was very good at it than I was at with any other thing.

That made my dayand now I'm not afraid of posting Stories in my blog.

I actually wanted to try Senryubut really afraid. I don't want to post something which doesn't make senseand ruin its name. Lets see. We'll hope for the best

Oh I started story writing late too. It used to be only free verse poetry at first, not any form or anything! I was very afraid to take up the long quill and write stories, but one of my readers, Pallavi, she told me I should try, and I did. She used to tell me, I need to write a novel, or a short story book and get it published soon. Even if I got brickbats from other readers, her encouragment is what I took to try writing more stories!

What about yours Leo?

I fear using too much smileys, Pooja  once upon a time, I used to put a lot of them in my posts. Then someone told, too much of smileys is unprofessional in blogging. So I stopped using them, or rather, I use them very rarely 

If it is genre, I think I am scared each time I try a new form of poetry, "what if it doesn't come out right" " what if I am ruining the honesty of the form" etc.. 

Hmm. In posts yeah it is. Thats why I don't use them on poems or stories.

HmmmJust like me ah?

Since when do you use lesser smileys?  you're always overboard with smileys. 

HahahaCheck my blog. I don't use Smileys in all my posts

That's coz blogspot doesn't have facility for these yellow smileys. Else you'd fill it it with so much smileys, you'd have to rename your blog to "yellow somethingz" 

lol

 hope you stay dauntless, PL.

I think a lot before publishing political and patriotic issues. The condition inside, is really threatening, really frustrating when we think about the future, but we have to think a lot, especially taking the leagl issues into consideration. Also, many of the issues, the way international community tackles, and the way India takes every threat lightly, the seriousness is devalued by Indian media and politicians too, sadly. So, it becomes very difficult to write sometimes. But now, I am improved a lot, keep improving. Also don't write much on politics, once in a month, but with deep analysis.

I think patriotic posts do need some thought over, lest it boil into something more.. so I think that fear is quite warranted 

Yes..:)

Braveness is nothing but hiding fear :) i will continue to hide them and will stand like a brave personality :)

I feel Braveness is facing the fear, once you face it, it vanishes....

I am worried about Haikus ooooops (Haiku), I would post them now, without any fear!

@DK.. answered like a true politician  diplomatically.

@mohinee:) Ji well said :) i will try to follow my perspective, when it dont works.. will try to implement yours :D

@Deepak very tough answer.....:)! You can hide, when you can face...omg what I am saying! I think we are saying same thing with different words.......

OMGThat is supermegafoxyawesome.

*BOWS DOWN IN RESPECT*

Thank you sooooooooo much 

Greatest fear is that maybe I am not meant to be a writer at all and just wasting my time creating works no one wants to read.

i actually used to fear writing Haiku. but thanks to you, that is resolved now :)

I do not have much fears in life. I do not fear heights. I do not fear falling. I do, however, fear landing.

In blogging, I do not really fear having few readers. I do fear, however, that I shall not get (preferably favourable) comments, and people not clicking on, and taking advantage of a few of my AdSense ads. The income would be nice and make my financial situation not as bad.

P.S. I meant to add that I do not fear having few readers because I am writing for myself. I am writing as my sole means of communication. All of my family, friends and former colleagues are on the other side of the globe. Although I write emails to them, it is more like twitter messages. Although my wife is here, all her family members, except for a nephew, have passed away. Although my wife is here, it is difficult to express everything that I want to her; hence, I am blogging. 

Let me see...I am afraid I might write absolute crap. Which I have done sometimes and later rolled my eyes and slapped myself. :P

And...people being judgemental.

That's probably it.

@antara

I have met a few judgemental people here on indi 

but that does not stops me , 

I might not share some articles on indi but that has certainly not stopped me from writing.

just dont acre about people who try to judge too soon.Just keep writing keep sharing

I'm afraid to even write :/ cause comapred what I see others writing , it seems so way off their standards , never had the reading habit and never found out much time to even write , but then since I took part in that contest tried reading out almost ever single blog post and saw the difference. Scary -_- , now I'm afriad to even write anything more than a peom , thou thats also pretty simple. 

I have a fear of letting down people I love and admire. I fear misunderstandings and seeing things differently than what they actually are. I have a fear of hurting /offending my friends through my words..

All the pain of guilt and sadness in the end of it all just gets a bit difficult for me to bear afterwards.

When I start writing, I try to make sense out of it & that is a headache in itself. I fear from working directly in front of screen & have to make a draft ready before writing.
