Writing in English caused as much anxiety as speaking it. The anxiety or fear of having misspelled words or grammatically wrong phrases and sentences. I have been writing in English since 1st grade and I always feel anxious on my grammar that I have second thoughts on sharing it to other people. Though sometimes I have no choice but to let them read what i had written. That's the essence of writing, we write so that we'll be read. My teachers always tell me that I need constant practice in writing so that I can gain confidence. Well, I did practice a lot. I wrote paragraphs, poems and short stories but my issues of lack of confidence suppressed what I have been practicing. In time though, I could gain the confidence. But I stay anxious to what I write, I mean, who won't?
Aside from anxiousness, I feel thrilled when I write.
