I know my reading and writing has always been one of my most creative outlets,and writing was discussed with me by many of my professors. Told should pursue, not teach. At least look into lit degree. Blank page does create fear as one begins process of beginning 'story' and triggering impulses to put all that is going on in your head into what becomes touchable and real. So important, and intimate. Reveal so much of self, and in that alone, leave yourself open for what? Will be all that you hold, or a jumble that someone else comes up against. Never had that happen, but that feeling of being found out, that the 'real' you isn't what is seen. Those of us with these issues are more perceptive to others' responses, and take in facial, vocal and body language in a way that I truly believe many do not. Just a thought. So much power and healing in paper and pencil, but it takes courage to share and create. Also that taking in leaves us in a difficult state, for us and others to understand. Is probably more difficult for others many times than us. Interesting thought, fear and creativity.
