Afternoon Quickie: So about the open mic...

I said I would share some of my poetry this Sunday at the open mic. I was excited when I made my declaration, sure that whatever piece I picked would be a crowd pleaser and create a little buzz about me. But as the days went on, that confidence slipped... Actually, it nose-dived. Now here I am, a few days until Sunday, without having chosen a poem because of the "what ifs" that pop up each time I read one. Not sure if I'm still going to go through with it or not...

Usually I am my own biggest critic, as most people are. Everything I do needs to blow people away, make them want more, be perfect. (That's one reason why I don't post as often as I'd like.) But the pursuit of perfection often leads to procrastination and eventually complete inactivity. I can't let that happen, so I have to suck it up and just do it, right?*sigh* Okay, well let's see what happens...
