A monster created from writing.
There are no boundaries to what you can write. Writing is free expression. A writers mind is a vast container of millions of thoughts that can be put down onto paper. However, with such freedom and power comes responsibility. Writing is so strong and very serious because it can change yourself or someone else. When pieces are out there to the public, it is vulnerable and It can also affect people. When he writes, he is in a state of tranquility, where the words from his mind flow to the lines of the paper. Derrida's fear is the thought, "How could you have written something like this!?". His fear is regret. When you are in a state of tranquility in writing, your mind is unstoppable and free. Derrida is afraid that after writing in that state, he has created something too strong. As a creative writer in high school, I have not felt the same fear. I felt that whatever was written down from my mind was worth to be put out there. I never had regret with what i have written because i know that my writings were written with passion.

YES! My response was similar. However, I admit to fear when I came into the world of creative writing BUT I gained pride in my work. As a well-known author I feel that Derrida should no longer have this fear. It makes me wonder.
