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.

You just have to remember even the greatest writers get shot down plenty of times before they find someone who believes in what they write - JK Rowling, for example, was turned away by four or so publishers before Scholastic gave her a shot. So, just start with showing friends and family. If you need to, just walk out of the room while they read for the first few times (It's what I had to do), and slowly, your confidence will build up.
