Why writing can be scary (and how to be brave)

Last Monday, Dr Pete Court spoke to Maz at LifeFM talk about how human beings are storytelling creatures. What is your story? 'That's easy', says Pete. 'It is the thing you most want to tell people about.' Don't know how to go about writing it down? That's what Feedback Month is for. Have a go, write it down, and let someone who is skilled in writing give you some guidance. 

Radio host Maz is currently writing her Story of Life entry. She described it as a scary process because writing can feel like reliving the experience, and there is also the fear of being judged. Pete says that we fear more than we need to because people value authenticity and vulnerability, and there's nothing to fear except not doing it.
