What is your relationship with your reader?
When I write, my reader is like the incessant hum of the refrigerator. It is always there and always annoying, yet with time, the roaring buzz becomes a mere murmur and disappears. If I let it, the thought of my reader can overtake my thoughts, paralyzing my writing as I agonize over every last syllable, let alone letter. My best writing, though, comes when my awareness of the refrigerator is present, yet not overpowering. I must know that he is there, but my fear of his judgments and thoughts cannot leave me incapacitated.
The idea of the hum of the refrigerator was really good.I feel like that is really easy to relate to and people can understand. The sentence at the end didn't seem to fit completely well with the paragraph but it was good enough.
