Accepting crit is *extremely* important to improving our craft. <br /><br />When I was younger I would write and write and instead of sharing my work with others I put it all away in a cabinet. Writing was the only thing I felt I was really good at, you see, so I thought that if I received criticism for the "only thing I was good at" it would crush me.<br /><br />Nowadays, I embrace crit. I understand that it is through constructive criticism and peer reviews that I can become better and better at doing what I love. I no longer fear the words of others... In fact, I whole-heartedly welcome them.<br /><br />Do you mind if I link to you in my blog post this week? I think people would benefit from reading what you've written here and want to send folks your way.<br /><br />Great post!randi leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207001299508931034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945807014448173535.post-28762028396173015062012-05-16T12:13:34.257-05:002012-05-16T12:13:34.257-05:00You're totally right.

We have to be attached enough to our characters to write their stories well, but we have to be able to unconnect with the story enough to revise and remove, if necessary.
