I needed this today. Actually, I need this every day! I'm trying to be more open, and it seems to be working, but the fact that it's working so well is scaring the hell out of me. How much of ME do I have to expose in order to keep my readers, and when is enough enough? Or too much?

I've been an opinion writer for ages, so it's not like my readers don't know what I'm thinking. But what I'm feeling? That's a whole other ballgame.

I'm more used to analyzing how others might feel than I am in analyzing myself for public consumption. You make good points here, Diane. I'm going to go off and ponder them...
