The I'm Writing Thread.... Celebrate your pages written etc
Snowleopard:
Ah. Well, you know she'll give you a detailed critique on your reading.
But, as you say, maybe moreso than you were up for at the moment.
Good luck.
Aminar:
Thanks. I feel like I need it.
Snowleopard:
I will tell you one thing that I think all new writers need.
It's the ability to take criticism. And that's not always easy.
I've seen writers that get sulky or nasty, or quickly change the subject when
someone starts to critique their work.
It's not fun but it's part of being a writer. You just need to learn to differentiate between
good criticism and bad criticism.
Aminar:
I'm usually pretty decent about it. It's just that the work got handed to a "grown up" Somebody I still can't not see as my teacher and good friends mom. It's just scary. It's good advice to take criticism well. I'm not one to get sulky or nasty or the like. I usually will, after hearing their piece, ask what they thought of the things they didn't mention though. And frankly I have yet to meet someone who's harsher on my work than me.

Got another Gunner Scene down. I think it stacks up pretty well.
