Just a thought: Take a trip to your local Barnes and Nobel (leave the credit cards at home) and just LOOK. You have SOME protection in the fact that your words will be swallowed up in a peculiar anonymity due to sheer volume. Yes, it's permanent, yes, someone can read it, but it's not on 2 tablets of stone called the 10 commandments. (Wonder if Moses got writer's block?)Just a THOUGHT. I use it to comfort myself. Also, as a published writer, I have found that most people I know never know I'm published unless I tell them, and never read it unless I hand it to them. Another comforting thought. :)
