Then there's no excuse to explain myself or assume they just don't see my vision. <br />Christine Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711726941768571495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827499535918250952.post-39110941129534051662013-02-03T04:51:47.158-07:002013-02-03T04:51:47.158-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Christine Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711726941768571495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827499535918250952.post-35202422763844587972013-02-03T04:51:45.827-07:002013-02-03T04:51:45.827-07:00I think a lot of writers feel they *should* want c...I think a lot of writers feel they *should* want criticism, but they don't *actually* want it, and that's when they get defensive. It's like asking "do I look fat in this dress?" Don't ask the question if you don't want the answer. <br /><br />The next step after learning to really want criticism is finding someone whose opinion we actually value and prioritize. That's the hard part, because they're usually that first person who says, "Yes, yes you do look fat in that dress," and you cried, and then you loved them for it. <br /><br />Christine Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711726941768571495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827499535918250952.post-26543947265296128932013-02-02T18:35:50.081-07:002013-02-02T18:35:50.081-07:00I always try to be very objective when I receive c...I always try to be very objective when I receive criticism. I try to remember that the reviewer has a different perspective and might very well be able to see more than me, but I also keep in mind that they are not omnipotent and I remember that I reserve the right to <i>not</i> change my work as well, because it is my name on it, not theirs. <br /><br />I think a lot of it just boils down to how much confidence you have in your abilities. If you feel confident about your ideas and your skills then others’ opinions remain just that- opinions- rather than perceived judgments on you or your work.KaseyQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394640941485859111noreply@blogger.com
