A to Z: Kakorrhaphiophobia





If I were to poll 100 random people, it would be safe to say that probably at least 95 of them suffer from this condition. It does not discriminate.  My son was not born with it, but I was.  No matter your age, gender, nationality or social standing, you can one day find yourself battling this condition and you might not have ever known you had it. Contests are not won because of this, mountains are not climbed, and visions not realized due to this problem.  What is this hideous demon affecting so many people?  Kakorrhaphiophobia...the fear of failure...and most writers do battle with it at some time in their career.  Don't let this happen to you!  Take a chance...what's the worse that can happen anyway?  It's not like the firing squad is still used these days...right???
