Sometimes, I get the urge to write again.  I read things, like novels or old fanfics I liked in the past and I want to start creating again.  Then I stop and take another step backward.  No, I'm not sure I could do that again.

The absence hurts a little bit, from time to time.  But I lack the confidence.

I never felt I was any good.  And if I did at some point in the past, I can only view it as foolish in retrospective.

Whether I actually was or not doesn't matter.  My perceptions have already tainted it.

I know it's pathetic and weak. I know my unwillingness says more about me than anything else.

It's not an advise or anything, but I just felt like telling you a bit of my personal story: I stopped writing fiction for about 15 years because I felt it wasn't worthy. Then I started writing again, and I'm happy with my writing as it is -- a way of expressing things I can't express by any other means.

Confidence shouldn't matter very much, I think. When I write, I just write for myself. So even if you don't post it up, why don't you write for yourself?.... ^_^

Besides, I think you're rather good with words.
