>But reading my own work is like bringing fragile delicate things in trembling hands to strangers for approval. It's more revealing of my inner self than speaking on another subject is. And a less-than-warm, enthusiastic reception is a crushing rejection of the work, of my own words. So it's fraught, for me.
Ah. I just assume that, if they went to the trouble of coming to hear me? They want to hear me.
So I have no rejection issues there. Mine are centred round anonymous rejection in writing.
