Writing my fears away

I’m taking a writing class this Spring term and I’ve had my highs and lows on this journey. I enjoy storytelling, reading, writing, and reading others writing, but my fears hit me head on when it comes to editing. I’m to much of a perfectionist and I know it causes me to doubt my abilities. I am facing my fears; not by choice, but by course! I understanding that writing is critical in my educational pursuit of teaching biology and in life. I believe how a person writes and speaks go hand in hand. When a person says or writes something that makes no since grammatically I instinctively believe their intelligence is missing a peg or three. This unfair judgement of others causes me self-doubt, fear, and bias of my own speaking and writing. I know to get through the uneasiness of speaking and writing I must do it more and more. I love to talk and write even more so I must continue on adventure of reading, writing, and exploring the countless helps available to become a better writer.
