Why is sharing our writing so scary? I think it's because truth comes out in writing. Sharing truth can be intimidating. What will they think of me? Am I the only one who thinks this way? What if I didn't phrase something the right way?
I've been sharing my writing for a while now, and I still get scared. I try to face my fears, though. Most times when I share, I hear thoughtful comments on my work-comments that cause me to reconsider or defend my work.
Just today, someone called and offered a comment on one of my pieces. She said my piece was "more clinical and less passionate" than some of the others I've written. I wrote the piece in a short amount of time, and I have to admit, it was less creative than some of my other work. Rereading the piece, I agree with her.
What about you? Do you like to share your writing? Have you ever shared a piece and received valuable feedback on it?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

CCWW's third year
July 11, 2013
It's hard for me to believe CCWW is starting its third year. When we started in July 2011, we didn't know if anyone would come to the workshops. Happily, people came and wrote and shared and wrote some more.
This year, we will continue with two six-week sessions with a two-week break in between. I informally polled several CCWW members, and they said the six-week sessions work well.
Our dates (all Tuesdays) for the fall are as follows:
Fall session 1: August 20, August 27, September 3, September 10, September 17 and September 24.
Fall session 2: October 15, October 22, October 29, November 5, November 12 and November 19.
Spring sessions will begin on Tuesday, January 14.
We are considering changing our location this year. Several CCWW members have said if we could meet in a quieter place it would be better.
I'll keep you posted.
