One of the most crucial aspects of growing as a successful author is being open to feedback. An effective feedback is one that strikes a harmonious balance between praise and criticism. Authors whose works receive glowing testimonials from users on Mybymedia have learned and grown from this kind of feedback process.
While everybody is happy to hear positive reviews, it is the criticism that is painful. However, constructive criticism is one of the foundational elements to sharpen and hone your writing skills.
Taking the criticism with a positive mind frame is also equally important. So, here are some tips to help you take criticism with a positive mindset.
- Usually when the criticism comes from a known person, you could tend to take it to heart. So, scour the Internet to find an editing partner, as hearing it from a stranger will make it easier. Also, you get an unbiased third party opinion of your work.
- You do not need to take into account every change that the editor asks for. In fact, have your work critiqued by more than one person. This will help you see where the common denominator lies and pay attention to those changes.
- While it may not be easy to see your work being critiqued, also know that giving feedback takes time and effort. And, it is because they care about your work, they are willing to invest that time and effort. This will help you develop a grateful attitude.
