Thoughts on Writing

I've got a confession to make: I hate confrontations and I live in absolute fear of embarassment. The thought that I could do something wrong and embarass myself publically makes me cringe and the thought of a confrontation over something I've done or said makes me extremely nervous (I know, I know, unlike all those people out there who are yelling "Embarassment? BRING IT ON! WHOO!"). I'm also one of those people who sees a police car in their rearview mirror and immediately thinks "What did I do wrong?" even if I'm driving the speed limit and don't have a body in the trunk (there's too many books in there for a body!)
