Introduction

This is my first post -and possibly my last given my track record. As an introduction, I'd like to explain why I'm starting this blog and why I named it Fear of Everything.
I'm starting this blog for several reasons. One is that I want to start writing again. I used to love to write, but I stopped a long time ago and it's hard to get started again. I think starting this blog will be an easy, no pressure way to get started again. So, besides writing about my thoughts and life, I may also post some fiction and poetry.
Now, on to the name of my blog. It comes from the Charlie Brown Christmas cartoon, the scene where Lucy is asking Charlie Brown if has any phobias. She lists several different phobias, the last one which means fear of everything. When she lists that one, Charlie Brown yells "That's it!"
I've always identified with that part of the cartoon. This blog is a small effort on my part to stop being afraid of some things, like sharing of myself and public criticism.
