Taking a Leap of Faith and Praying for Positive Feedback

     So here we go... my second blog has just begun and already I find myself regretting it.  This particular blog is completely dedicated to my love for writing.  I have completed one novel already and I am in the process of a second right now.  Of course, I have the endless supply of short stories and/or story starters that have went nowhere... yet... but all in due time, my friends.
     Now, back to the purpose of this blog.  I have this fear... fear of sharing my written work with anyone for fear of judgement, boredom, negative feedback, you name it.  I mean, why put myself through bearing my soul like that, leaving myself completely vulnerable? But here I am, nonetheless.  I guess what I'm wanting to do is share my works with people - complete strangers I guess.  I'm scared shitless too.  If I were to blog this, what keeps people from stealing what is important to me?  And what's the point of finally reaching my ultimate goal - to publish one of my works - if everyone has already read it?
     But... here I go.  Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
