RE: Writing workshop volume 16: How to accept criticism on your fiction writing
Really nice and informative post :) if there is one thing i would point out, it is that i thought, from the title, that this is more about the psychology behind accepting criticism rather than the aspects of understanding it.
Thanks for reading and commenting, @multi4g! I nominate you to write the post dedicated to the psychology behind accepting feedback on your fiction. 😊
It is a multi-faceted thing, this. While I talked a bit about how it can feel like a punch to the old solar plexus to receive less-than-positive comments, my main goal in this post was to help new writers overcome that initial shock and navigate their way through the feedback to their best advantage. Thanks so much, again, for your comment!
Challenge accepted :) Although i will write about art in general, because i am not a fiction writer per se.
Well I was more or less kidding, my friend. But if you write it, I look forward to reading it.
I will make it part of my "struggles" series. It's actually a good topic. criticism and rejection are big elements. And there is always the "i'm just too far ahead with my art" delusion lurking at every corner. :)
Awesome. And I will check out your series.

I commented on the post too, but just want to say (for anyone who is wondering “should I click that link”?) that it’s a great post. You did a nice job of addressing the emotional roller coaster aspect of dealing with feedback, criticism and even rejection. Thanks for writing that and sharing it here, @multi4g!
