Let me explain AGAIN

I think we need ANOTHER explanation of how 'constructive critisizim' works. Okay so here is how it works


The beautiful world of constructive critisim:


Step 1: Write a story on forums. By doing that you are offering up your work to be judged by others so don't bother if you are not thick-skinned. 

Step 2: I read your story. I think in some way it can be improved. I tell you how it can be done. BECAUSE YOU OFFERED UP YOUR STORY FOR CRITISIZM AND THAT IS WHAT I WILL GIVE. 


Step 3: Use said critisizm to IMPROVE said story, thank the giver (BECAUSE IT WAS YOUR CHOICE TO PUT THE STORY UP) and then publish your book and sell it for £££ or $$$ or some other symbol. 


BUT, I have to say I don't like this attitude:

You do this to an editor and your NEVER gonna get published. THEY aren't there to reassure you that your story is good and I sure as hell am not either. THEY are there to make sure that England's books are READABLE. So, all you aspiring writers, I want you to learn something from this post today, and that is: 


STOP. THE. ATTITUDE.


I'm only here to HELP you. This will only make you STRONGER. or has that weird radio song from Kelly Clarkson taught you NOTHING?


And stop with the exaggeration. I never say like 'oh your story was rubbish i hated it'. I put stuff like 'it's too fast paced' or mostly 'you need to improve grammar/spelling'. Completely valid arguments. I think MORE of us should use constructive critsim rather than shielding our friends feelings, if they REALLY want to be an author. Don't even shield MINE. 


Also peepz, take a warning from this. I rarely offer praise as i'm more conditioned to telling you how you can improve, so PLEASE don't ask me to comment on your stories unless you can take it. >_<


Well i hope we all LEARNED something today. :) 


Apart from the fact I am mean when it comes to story commenting.
