To do, or not to do ...

Indecision should be my second name, because it is one of my most noticeable personality traits.

During April I participated in NaNoCamp edition, after I had spent a lot of time thinking about whether I was really certain that I wanted to do it. I'm glad I did,or I would not have written the first draft of Journey Home. I also got to know some nice writers. Now, the other thing is - I am easily, too easily intimidated, and when the matter of joining some sort of critique group I am at the same time both intrigued - thinking of course I should and I can and it will be fun etc, etc - and I am terrified - what if I have nothing to offer, what if my writing is not up to par, what if I am a hopeless case that will never improve, and what if I lose interest after a while or am too busy with real life in order to make something productive of it all and have spent other peoples time in vain.

See, how indecisiveness can mess it up for me?

So should I or shouldn't I join a critique group online? Can I practically squeeze it in between a full-time job and family and occasional health issues?

Argh, I should just hit the 'create account'- button and look around the site in order to find out whether it is something for me!
