Today- or tonight, rather- I discovered something mildly interesting.

I seem to be afraid of everything.

More specifically, I have a heretofore unsuspected phobia of adding to Everything.

That in itself comes as somewhat of a surprise to me, considering that I've been looking forward to noding ever since I discovered the site, which was somewhere between two and three years ago. I've come up with a few ideas for writeups, and I've even begun a few of them, just to see what it felt like. Yesterday I finally gathered my courage and made a username, and today I prepared to write my first node. < /br>Little did I suspect my latent fear. The fact is, the prospect of actually writing here, after having read dozens of embarrassingly bad nodes and hundreds of mindopeningly good ones, is difficult to grasp.

How does this work, again? < /br>How do I get past this (probably justified) terror of rejection? < /br>And why did I think I had anything to say?

Fortunately (or not), I am patient.

My first writeup. Hooray?
