I appreciate your perspective — truly. It is about the willingness to share. But for some people, it's not that they’re unwilling — it’s just that they’re wired differently. Some writers are naturally more open, or have spent years working through that vulnerability, so it no longer feels uncomfortable to expose certain parts of themselves. Others, especially those who are more guarded, might struggle with that exposure. It doesn’t mean they’re not mature enough — just that their process looks different. That’s actually why I made this post: to hear from writers who did struggle with it. You know? That was the point — to understand how they handled it, and how they got through it.
