Writing and reading to a group are two different things, and they don’t overlap. Think of the worst thing that could happen when you do a reading–it won’t have any bearing on your writing the next day or week. Reading to a group is a different art form, an activity like water skiing. Anyone who comes to hear you read is there to see what you are like, to hear your voice.
