When exposing makes you consider the audience thoughtfully, yes, it's a whole other game then. It's so common for me that I think some part or a piece of writing is fine. But when I consider posting it, or submitting to a literary contest, suddenly I see that piece, naked, before the panelists, and it's a poor show. Not until I make that decision does my brain stop furninishing mental decorators to dress up the rags which I'd been subconsciously overlooking, or was simply worried about other more pressing issues elsewhere.
