So, you'll remember that I posted the first chapter of my Twilight Rewrite a few days ago, and I was really happy with the response that it got. Thanks so much you guys for reading it.
Unfortunately I posted it for the people on my creative writing course to read, and I feel that they tore it to shreds. I like to think that I can take critique, because I really do want to improve. I don't know if it's just me, because I am a really sensitive person. But I can't deal with my work being taken to pieces by ten different people, and being told to my face that my ideas are underdeveloped and my character should just 'shut up moaning', and that my writing is full of cliches. It helped that I looked up on deviantart about critique and in a few tutorials it was mentioned that critiques must always be respectful and polite, to make the recipient feel like you're actually helping them, and that you mustn't burden the recipient with too many negatives. That's how I try to deliver critique. It's easier on deviantart because I've found that people *are* more respectful, and at least it doesn't seem like they're humiliating you in front of a room full of people
Have you guys had any instances like this? If so how did you deal with it? It made me feel like a physically bad writer, like I couldn't even *think* creatively. I'm feeling a lot better about it than I was, I'd just like to hear from some other artists as well. Thanks in advance.
