Are you ever afraid to write?

Derrida states that he is not afraid of the writing process itself. He says that he writes what he needs to write.  It is the consequences that may come that scare him while he is in his 'half-sleep'.  And I think that is a legitimate concern, which I share as well.

When I write something, I usually do it knowing that somebody else is going to read it. And that is a scary realization: something you have produced will be seen by someone else's eyes. And these eyes tend to make critiques and judgements.  Also, written words have real power. So whether we like it or not, sometimes we need to filter our thoughts before we write them.
