My relationship with my reader
My relationship with my reader is wanting to constantly be criticized. Not the criticism that is harsh and hurts my self esteem. Constructive criticism that helps me grow. I know it sounds corny, but I want to be the best I can be. I enjoy writing, but I am not necessarily good at it. I hope that through criticism, I will be able to enjoy writing, and write well. What is key in me becoming better is the reader. I may sound selfish, using the reader to better myself, but I really am not. I help the reader by giving them a piece to read and hopefully enjoy, and they help me by giving me feedback. My relationship with my reader is symbiotic. Eventually, after re-writing and re-writing, I start to become my own reader. I have read my piece so many times that I begin to notice what needs to be changed. After reading I notice the flaws and what doesn't make sense.

Haha that line wasn't corny at all! It was very honest and I really liked that. It's a good way to put it because I like constructive criticism as well. I really like how you stated "Eventually, after re-writing and re-writing, I start to become my own reader." It's a very valid point and creative of you to think of that.
