To Become a Great Writer, You Must Learn to Accept Harsh and Hostile Criticism.
Here are a few handy tips on how to manage criticism well.
So, you want to be a writer, huh? Not just a good writer, but a great writer.
However, how can you become a great writer if you hide in your cocoon and don’t even want your family, parents, children, partners, colleagues, and neighbors to read your writing?
Why? Because you are fearful of “being judged.”
You dread hearing them say things you don’t want to hear or dread clicking on the comments page of a platform because you fear reading harsh criticism that makes you feel awful.
Many writers confessed that openly accepting criticism is not easy, especially given the hard work, preparation, and sacrifices invested in composing great writing pieces.
As a writer, you are bound to receive feedback from your readers, whether you like it or not. The feedback and comments will help you grow — be it positive or negative.
So, use them to your advantage.
Accept feedback
Take it as constructive criticism and a challenge, perhaps. Learn from it and work on the areas that need improvements.
