Writing with an audience

Adds a bit of pressure.

Eyes watching.

Judging your every word.

Still,

I must ask.

How are you supposed to judge your writing,

when your audience is a dog with flatulence?

Reviews

"We are often our worse critic," is a common phrase writers hear. However, I have come across critical reviewers on the site and professionals. It is difficult to share with others because of judgement. Despite scrutiny, I have learned to appreciate constructive criticism because it helps improve the craft.

The first three stanzas begins on a serious tone; it invokes pressure. I chuckled by the time I reached the end since it takes a lighthearted and comedic response release.

Overall, writing with an audience creates "pressure" at first, but the "release" should also be fun. Writers and artists take themselves far to serious sometimes so this was a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing.

sincerely,

Thank you.
I have to keep myself from being serious all of the time. Nice to be silly every once in a while.

with a gas mask and a trash bin? if it hits the floor and the dog eats it, it was a good one, and you have a perfect excuse for teacher... if it hits the can, it belongs there? :P

Actually, she is a picky eater. If she doesn't like it, she will let it sit there.

[Beccy]

Never mind about added pressure, seems to me your faithful fan is pretty good at releasing same.

Just wonderful!


Beccy.

[Jon Roggie]

She does give support. I can always open the windows.

I was so sympathetic reading this, right till I got to the final line.

Then I remembered my own dogs signature scent and my sympathies doubled!

[Jon Roggie]

I must admit, she is my faithful fan.

[Jacob Clifford]

Pfft, wasn't expecting that one. I know the feeling of having a farting dog.

[Jon Roggie]

Sometimes, you just have to tell a joke.

[Shannon]

Lmao over here, Jon! What did you decide?

[Jon Roggie]

Well, the dog didn't leave the room...

I can't always be serious around here!

[Shannon]

Someone's gotta make fart jokes.... 😉

[Jon Roggie]

Also, you can't judge the dog by the smell.

[Shannon]

Or by his owner's sense of humour 😁

[Jon Roggie]

Careful. I will start with some Monty Python next time.
