What am I doing?

I have mixed feelings already about blogging. It's been two days.

I want this to be an outlet. But I'm concerned about what my "real" friends, colleagues, and family might say if they find it. I want to be part of the community. But I'm concerned about security issues and saying too much. I want to refine and hone my writing skills - skills I really haven't been able to use in YEARS, really since college. But I have my doubts about my writing abilities and with every entry I write and rewrite, thinking I'm not as good as some of the others.

At BlogHer, I hope to meet and talk to other women who've thought and felt these same things. I want to know how they've been able to overcome their hesitation on this new medium. (OMG, I realize I leave in a few hours for Chicago. I haven't been this nervous in a long time... and I really don't know why I feel nervous...)

I've been blogging for a few years, and I still worry about someone finding me. I finally just started a separate password protected blog for bloggers that I trust.

tough one. not being found by so many people is why I'm passcoded and will probably remain so. too many people with vendettas out there.
