Have you ever been afraid to write before? I know I certainly have. There are those who do not mind critiquing and offending others with their writing; however, in some countries vulgar writing can even be sentenced to jail. Should there be limits, and do you think there are limits, on the extent that one can go to when writing?
In contrast, Jacques Derrida has a different view on writing. He was not scared of writing against authority or expressing his ideas. Since he was not afraid of writing, did this make him a stronger writer? Was Derrida able to portray his ideas easier than most writers can because he wrote what he wanted to?
Why don't you elaborate on why you've ever felt afraid to write?
