Now, I'm like you, I don't want everyone to see me tank. But NaPoWriMo is partially about accepting the fact that you WILL tank sometimes. At the very least, it asks you to enforce a discipline upon yourself and make public the fact that you have done so. I've been blogging under a fake name, but a couple of other people are using the same blog for the same purpose, and they know who I am. I'm that much MORE accountable, I suppose. So, find a way to share your poems, even if they don't have your name on them. Make yourself do the work. Part of the specatcle of NaPoWriMo is that you do it in public.
