leaping into the shark tank

Today I had an attack of boldness and decided to submit a first chapter to a writing forum I belong to. (No, not that forum. Early drafts require gentle critique.) Confusingly, I have two contradictory feelings about this:
  1. I am an unparalleled genius whose latest masterpiece will send readers into ecstasy.
  2. I am a hack. Readers will laugh. Tomatoes may be thrown.
I suspect the truth, as always, will be somewhere in the middle.

    Ah, I saw it. I'll do a review later today. I've already got one to do this morning that I promised someone.

    Ugh! Why are we writers so insecure? At least I know I'm not alone in my craziness! ;)
