I know a lot writers who do not enjoy going out on stage and sharing their work. I don’t feel like I”m the best at it, but after it’s happened, I do enjoy it. There’s something extremely satisfying about the immediacy in sharing my work with a crowd. I’ve done this via the stage in front of people and in a virtual setting. My question to you , dear poets, have you ever done an open mic night? If you have-how was it for you? Would you do it again? And if you haven’t-would you ever?
I’ll meet you in the comments!
The Reverie 
I am mostly shy and contemplative when in a large crowd so I was also reluctant at first on reading my works in front of an audience, but now i am just looking foreward the next event as i found out people are stirred in voracious debates or enchanted by my writings and sometimes, if i get it right, mesmerized by my voice. I am reading now 3 times a month works at the arts and literature circles i attend in Bucharest and now I prepare one’s self to be put face to face with audiences, writing veterans and critics at the next upcoming editions of The Rostrum of Writers Without Prejudices.

That’s fantastic! I’ve found that doing live readings is a much more visceral experience. It can be more cutting and intimidating, but also incredibly rewarding.
