What’s the Worst that could happen?
When trying to break through the fears of sharing your work with the world.
This is basically what I’ve been practicing for my entire life. Imaging the worst case scenario. I can take any situation and turn it into a full on, bear in the woods no weapon kind of outlook in seconds.
What if NO ONE buys my book / reads my work?
This is the big one that a lot of people fear. That they put their heart and soul into something, and the world just doesn’t care.
It’s not a fear of mine, it’s kind of what I’m expecting. And it’s actually quite a relief to think about. If no one buys or reads it, then no one will be able to call me a hack.
So if you worry about this, don’t. Because worser things could happen. This just gives you the chance to work on your skills while being under the radar.
What if it does sell, and suddenly people want to talk to you?
This is a legitimate fear for most introverts out there. When a chatty extrovert comes up to you and starts asking you personal questions. And never giving you a chance to catch your breath. Oh and it’s even worse if they keep moving closer every time you move further away.
