Ever since I've started writing, I've thought about publishing one day, but I've always been nervous wondering if anyone would enjoy it. Any tips on getting over that "fear" of publishing?
Start small though. I wonder why so many writers start off writing 900 page novels. Write short stories first. There are tons of markets for them. Once you get some pub credits, you'll build confidence. Most everyone will tell you don't give up. But writing is becoming a more and more social thing. Getting published is just the beginning. You have to develop your brand, meaning touring to promote books, doing readings, using social networking or blogging to connect with fans, etc.
I could go on, but find ways to build your confidence or it'll be really difficult to write otherwise.
