i have a lot of fear around writing and publishing 

i’m afraid it’s going to be bad or dumb, or that what i have to say isn’t worthwhile - so i don’t even start 

anyone else? techniques to overcome this?

And if you are starting from scratch, anything at all will be largely ignored at first because you have no audience, no one knows your content is available.  Which can reinforce the idea that what you are writing isn’t ‘worthwhile’ because no one responded to it.

Write to find your voice.  It takes practice.
