I have that fear, and I think it is connected to the fear that people I know will see/read it. So, I definitely have the critical voice/side controlling me. And I will need to work on that, for sure. If I don't conquer that, I won't ever publish. (I did use to fear the idea of, "What will my mother think?" But, she died, so I don't have to worry at all about what she'll think anymore. But, the critical voice/side will come up with another excuse to replace it with, so I will have to squash it.)
