Well, you win some and you lose some... |
|
My reading at tonight's open mic was OK, but not great...
I'd love a hug...
I'd sure appreciate it...
Thanks.

You know, I haven't had any like this in the year since I started reading there...
And I guess it was time.
A needed lesson in humility, I think...
Thanks, sweetie...

Sorry it didn't go as well as you had hoped, but I'll bet anything it went better than you thought.
Here's some hugs for you, as if you needed to ask!

19. As I think you know, I'm a performer ( singer and musician) |
|
How did YOU think you did? I've had nights where I kicked ass and the audience barely knew I was there, and I've had nights where I was so bad ,I'd wished there was a paper bag over my head so no one could see it was me, and people came up to me gushing about how great I was. You may have had the occasionally inevitable off-night, or you may have been great and it was just one of those nights where you just weren't gonna get through to em. Either way, shrug it off and go get em next time, but also never hurts to analyze your performance and material as objectively, dispassionately, and egolessly ( that's not even a word , is it?) as possible and learn from it for that next time too...(its late, I'm sleepy, did that make any sense? )

No, I hadn't realized you're a performer...How very cool!
I think I did well. But during the second poem, there was a disturbance in the audience, and their concentration was broken along with mine.
And it really messed up my performance. Big time.
I paused, which was maybe a mistake. And then I resumed reading, but my momentum was lost.
And yes, you made a whole lot of sense!
Thank you...I'm tired too, and sleepy...
But you have helped me a great deal.
:hug:

22. I don't know exactly what happened, |
|
but my feeling is that it was an accident. The audience here is normally very well-behaved.
But anyway...
It's done now...
And I'll be readier next week.

29. There's a lot of bad news out there today and it's put a lot of people in a bad mood |
|
and remember, the greats were often misunderstood.

36. I am simply in awe of people who have the courage to get up before a crowd |
|
especially to do something as intimate as a poetry reading.
So whether it was a good night or a not-so-good night, you have my admiration and respect just for doing it. And I love your poetry.
:applause:
