Critics and writers

It’s hard getting comments on your writing. I never really appreciated the meaning of critique before. I mean, I use to think that it was no big deal, that I could take it. But I still get that twinge of dislike to have someone comment on my writing, even if it were a simple paragraph for an advertorial. I still cringe when people point out that this could have been clearer, or that could have been rephrased. I still feel defensive whenever this happens.

Sigh… being a writer.
