Write whatever pleases you, and know this: I won’t skewer you. In fact, if you’re being honest, I’m more likely to skewer those with skewers.

As a community of bloggers, one thing the writer of a blog has going for herself is that we all know how hard it can be to be honest. And, if there’s one thing that really pisses us off, it’s people who use other’s honesty to their own selfish ends.

That said, it’s really only you who can decide what is best for you to write. Yet, I can tell you this with confidence: I’ve found it to be rather affirming when I’ve done some self-revelation of my own and people got behind me if I took criticism.

I respect any decisions you make!

Though I completely understand your point, let me throw in this for good measure. We write journals for ourselves. We write publicly for others. Self-censorship, in a writer’s sense, is called “editing”. Now, perhaps what you’re saying is that you’ve become reticent to open up your ideas too far. I wouldn’t call that self-censorship as much as fear-tracking. So write to your heart’s content, but understand that we’re reading because you meant us to.
