To all you creative types:
If you wouldn't ask for their advice
Don't accept their criticism
It's easy to get caught up on one or two negative comments and dismiss all the positive comments. For whatever reason, that's what we do.
Fight against it. Your work is worth reading/seeing. Don't delete that work. People are enjoying it and are bummed when they can't find it. Listen to people you know/admire/respect. Like an author? Ask their opinion. Same with an artist. Most are willing to help.
Gonna say this again...louder:
If you wouldn't ask for their advice
Don't accept their criticism
#I agree with this#trying again with this mindset#the last time I published someone commented with: this is clearly your first time writing sex#I was so mortified I took down everything I’d ever written and walked away#it wasn’t my first time… clearly#and there were others#people can be cruel#but they’re not who I write for
