[Solucet]

It's funny you should mention that, actually, as I've known Suzerain for years. He was the one who recommended this site to me... three years ago, I think. And yes, it has taken that long for me to act upon that.

When it comes to embarrassment and such, that really has a lot to do with the fact that I used to consider myself at least somewhat competent when it comes to writing, but as time has passed, my own opinion of my writing has withered significantly -- which is probably due to my waning self-esteem more than any actual fault with the writing itself.

On the optimistic side, I guess it's a good thing that I'm aware of the fact that I'm obscuring my own ability to see anything I've written as anything but dross. (And I severely over-complicated that sentence.)
