Patrick, have you ever experienced repercussions for your writing? I often will go to start something, and decide "nah, {this is dumb|i will get laughed at|it's not useful}". I'm pretty sure those are all just cognitive distortions, but its hard to tell with little experience.

Yes, but on balance the ledger is overwhelmingly positive and I should almost certainly write more than I do.

Interestingly (to me anyway) is that the work I've put the most time into (a book that I spent probably 1,000+ hours on, a journal article that was at least 100 hours of time) has had far less reach or impact than a few things I have knocked out in an hour or two.
