i wish you would post more of your stuff more often-- i'd love to see what you're working on and it seems that posting it to livejournal would be the easiest way for you to share them with me...
i think you're nervous about sharing because you hold yourself to such high standards and you don't want to share your work until it's absolutely perfect-- i understand that. but i think livejournal is absolutely informal and can be treated as your personal platform and not your chapbook that you'll be reading from at the Poetry Center in a year or so...i'm sure you've heard that a work of writing is never done (there are just different drafts and articulations on the same concepts)? let this be your unfinished sharing of your creative expression that puts a little more light into our lives...
aren't your livejournal friends all nice people who wouldn't harshly and negatively critique your poems if you asked them to?
