fears of writing and such
______________________
bell hooks -

"Each time I begin to work on a
new piece of writing, a theoretical essay, a critical book, fiction,
autobiography, I confront within myself extreme dread that the subjectivity
that I have fought so hard to claim will not assert itself. Paralyzed by
the fear that I will not be able to name of speak words that fully
articulate my experience or the collective reality of struggling black
people, I am tempted to be silent.

pg53 - "critical fictions" ed -Philomena Mariana
