Hoping to at least do some research and planning today, if not actual writing. I've only managed 100 words this month so far, so I need to start doing better, and soon!

When I first started writing, I was a bit nervous about sharing, but not too bad -- because I had some confidence already with "public" writing, even though it wasn't fiction. The fact that I was in a community of other writers and readers who were encouraging and made me feel safe helped a lot, so my nervousness quickly vanished after my first piece of fic went up for public viewing.
