It\u2019s not a place to try to present your best side. You can let go of that for a while. You don\u2019t have to shop-front your practice over here, to express your delight at the achievements of others (while you feel like you\u2019re losing ground), to post up word counts (that feel as though they might as well be pages of blah blah blah), to portray a breezy author life (while you\u2019re secretly wondering if anyone will ever care about what you do). That person is no use to you here.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Show up as yourself, and take as much privacy as you need. You can go through this entire process without talking to another soul, and that\u2019s absolutely fine. They won\u2019t even know you\u2019re here. You\u2019ll still get loads of work done.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll let you into a secret: if you can bear to share, you\u2019ll almost certainly find other people who feel exactly the same way you do. I know this, because my whole writing career has been based on radical vulnerability.
