Scriptophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of writing or writing in public. I’ve heard of
writers developing this phobia after feeling they have failed in their careers. They feel that if they stop writing all
together then they can’t fail and they will no longer have to face the
rejection that every writer is all too familiar with. This phobia can affect anyone at any
time. Read personal stories of those who
suffer from Scriptophobia here.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom is an excessive and
unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include
shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall
feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.
