Seriously, I love the way you write. It's very unique and even poetic the way it flows off te page. Remember, writing is extremely subjective.Leah Lotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04414524693712987054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754583874221317574.post-39006204696027398802013-09-10T10:45:21.970-07:002013-09-10T10:45:21.970-07:00Ohhhh I hate that! Yeah, sometimes it's hard. ...Ohhhh I hate that! Yeah, sometimes it's hard. Especially if you don't know the person well enough to know their intentions.

One time someone told me my novel was written...Yup! One time someone told me my novel was written in an old fashioned style and that I needed to loosen up my words. And I just thought . . . that's just how I do it. I can't change that! I didn't like that criticism at all, and frankly I thought it was just an opinion. (Which I guess is what all criticisms are, and why I'm hesitant to give people life shredding opinions.) I don't really listen to criticisms unless the person can also suggest how they would fix it. That way I can actually tell if it's good advice. If they don't want to tell me WHY my writing is crap, then how am I supposed to fix it? Well anyway, I'm going off on a rant and I'll calm down now.<br />I agree with Ony. Great!

I just instantly get offended, and just feel so shameful that ithought my work was incredible. Example, during the GTW retreat i made a critique buddy, sent her my first two chapters which she loved, she did the same. Then i sent her two more. That's when she flacked on me, saying she didnt like my story...I was really sad after that. And that makes me think if i cant take one little bit of critique how can i take some from millions ( i hope.) that'll some day read my novel!?<br /><br />*Takes long huge exasperating breaths* Ok, I'm good :)<br /><br />GREAT POST!
