wow. You skip over that I actually complimented your work. I get it, you are here for "good jobs" and "great work!" You aren't here for actual critique that could help you. "Man" is a figure of speech btw.
You aren't a writer, yet. Sorry. that's the truth. You are too thin skinned
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Writers should never publish a first draft by the way, nobody should EVER see that except your editor
Pardon me for butting in, but comments like this really tick me off and I want to say a few things.
Since Michelle has published several books and short stories, she IS A WRITER. And a very good one.
There is a difference between a critique and criticism; the first needs to be written properly and with respect, and the second one has no place in anyone's comments. Please learn the difference.
I have read your own introduction and a short story you have written. Not only are there noticeable typing errors; there are errors in punctuation and many run-on sentences. Before you criticize anyone else, you really should clean up your own stuff. In my opinion, your style of writing leaves much to be desired, and is nowhere near the quality of Michelle's.
Thanks @jcedwards. I appreciate your efforts here. I've decided to cut the losses and mute that one.
of course there are. I welcome critique. Critique only makes you better. Michelle, on the other hand, cannot seem to take critique. It is not about having feelings hurt, it is about getting better at what you do.
Look, being a writer means being able to take critique. Letting others read a piece of work means opening yourself up to that critique. Anyone can publish a book, you know? I have published two, and I have made some money off of them. Admittedly, I still have a lot to learn, thus I welcome critique. Someone who gets so mad at critique probably should not be putting work on a public forum, unless all they want is flattery, which is just empty calories. This applies to anything. If this service is being used only so people can flatter each other, then it is pointless and a huge waste of artistic potential.
You believe what you want to believe, chick.
I don't do what other people do. I'm kinda unconventional like that.
I suggest you perhaps do a little research before going off half-cocked.
By the way, I get that you're new to Steemit. I'd suggest you click the 'upvote your post' before you publish your next one because you're missing a vote there.
Good Luck on your journey, you appear to have had a rough go of it lately and I know a few that are in similar situations to yours.
