Does anyone else love public writing? I do. To me, no writing is better than public writing. The thrill that I receive from seeing or hearing my writing in public is second to none. When I see my writing in public, I see my work, my thoughts, and my opinion being broadcast to everyone. What other kind of writing could be better? I mean, isn’t that the inherit point of writing? To put your thoughts and feelings down on paper and have others read it? If you ask me, there is not point to writing if no one reads it.
Now, when I write, and I know that others will read it, that makes writing exciting. If only one or two people are going to read it, thats not exciting. The bigger the audience the more exciting writing becomes. When there is an extremely big audience I try to make it creative, fun, and the best paper possible because I know that every single person will read it and critique it. I would say its the pressure that makes public writing exciting. It’s the pressure that other people will judge me off of how I write and how I think. This pressure makes me concentrate and focus on every word, every sentence, every page, and all the little things in between. Thats what makes it nerve-racking and exciting. Some people say it’s the ability to thrive under pressure, I just think its the ability to realize pressure, and enjoy it.
