Anyone? Writing is what i've always really wanted to do, although I have almost no experience at it. I have a ton of story ideas, it's just the actual writing part i'm bad at. Or at least, i've convinced myself I suck at it. For anyone that's actually seriously into writing, how do you get over the fear of showing your work to someone else? The fear of having your ideas and stories rejected?
And i'm talking about in person, not [i]necessary[/i] the internet.

Try repeating the litany against fear: [i]I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing, only I will remain[/i]
