RE: 10 Reasons To Welcome Criticism
absolutely. i'd rather hear something i don't want to hear than someone kissing my ass just to kiss my ass or protect my feelings. i've been writing so long at this point, my skin has gotten pretty thick.
plus you can usually tell when someone's being genuine, especially when they're not used to giving criticism directly to the author.
I still get hurt sometimes, but then I pull myself together and keep writing )
oh it's not a perfect process and sometimes people have less tact than i'd prefer, but overall, the truth is always better for the creative process.
and you're welcome for the resteem. solid advice deserves a wide platform!
