iCraft, Jewelry and Blogging

I had so much fun writing my first blog entry for iCraft, an online marketplace for handmade jewelry and crafts. I LOVE jewelry! I should take pictures of my big jewelry collection and post them here. Those posts would be different from my work for iCraft because I would never sell my jewelry...

I imagine it would be so difficult to give something away after spending so much time and energy creating it. I don't feel that way about my writing. I usually don't even feel uneasy when I share something I've written with an audience, be it a family member, a professor, the public. I used to, though. You write then stare. Delete then stare. It's intimate and personal.You don't know how others will receive it, if they'll appreciate it and understand it. And then you press "Send" in your email or "Publish Post" in the blog, and from that point on, it's no longer yours alone.
