Fearing the audience

I'm not one who typically is willing to be in the spotlight - if I get any attention, I'll usually try to recoil from it. Maybe it's because I've usually been recognised for things I don't care for, like in maths. In fact, I put off starting a blog for several months for the same reason. Since then, I've been blogging for two years straight, but I don't have a huge audience, so that's klm ig.

Quite a lot of the time, I also doubt whether what I write is any good. I think I let the Bearblog upvote button control my thought process too much - when the number displayed is small, it's easy to think no one cares for what I write, when that obviously isn't the case. However, that doesn't stop the possible anxiety of what would happen if I shared my writing too much.

I don't want to be the person whose writing becomes the focus of drinking games, for instance. That is unlikely to happen in the first place, but I'm not sure.

I hope you like the poems. Wednesday's nice, isn't it?
