I'm looking for new readers. Not to say my old ones are bad. It's just that I'm related to most of them and the other one is predisposed to like me because we're dating. Not to say that they are not helpful. I just need fresh eyes and perspective. Does every writer/poet/artist have to do this? I feel like there should be a thrift store for readers where you can go to drop off your old ones and pick up new ones. Or a swap meet:
POSTING- 3 readers for exchange. First: offers no negative criticism ever and is very good for confidence but will ask you regularly 'what does it mean.' Second: mostly stares at you, nodding head ponderously, only to tell you 'your writing creeps me out sometimes;' excellent copy editor. Third: highly intelligent, incredibly well-read and up to date with the latest trends in literature; will refrain from offering harsh criticism if you are dating each other.
