We accept feedback graciously because someone went out of their way to offer it. BUt we can and should disregard anything that doesn't ring true with us. I do it all the time. Plus, I've found what one CP likes, another doesn't, and vice versa. SO we'll never please everyone and shouldn't try to. :)PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350801126596899090.post-8340636088940847822011-10-23T07:06:20.162-04:002011-10-23T07:06:20.162-04:00In the end, the writer has to take all the advice ...In the end, the writer has to take all the advice they receive, sort through it and see which makes the most sense to them.

I've grown out of that. I still appreciate the critiques, but if I don't feel they are right, then I'll easily say no.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677563505368503476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350801126596899090.post-39800125564974410612011-10-20T19:32:23.719-04:002011-10-20T19:32:23.719-04:00Hi Nisa, came over from ali's!
Thanks for sha...Hi Nisa, came over from ali's!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this bit of insight because it's so true and so easy to forget. I know exactly what you mean about being kind of a pushover when it comes to critique. Part of me figures, hey this person must be seeing something I'm missing! But there is a point where we have to admit that maybe we know what we're doing with our story and stick to our guns.Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350801126596899090.post-11093665908196500782011-10-20T13:16:20.039-04:002011-10-20T13:16:20.039-04:00I just figured this out too!

Especially myself. :)Jennie Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331827076858223497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350801126596899090.post-58601690955047796382011-10-20T12:24:03.555-04:002011-10-20T12:24:03.555-04:00There's much truth to what you say.

But others we have to consider carefully, and stay true to the heart of our stories.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.com
