Can’t Touch This
According to Harriet Silkwood over at bookbymany.com,
Writers are such a moody species. We call ourselves sensitive, but honestly, downright touchy is a truer description. We are so touchy, in fact, that we take every criticism and remark made about our writing personally. We only hear what we expect to hear, way down deep in our hearts. If we are told to ‘keep practicing’, our ears hear, “you’re not a good writer.” If we are rated anything under five stars we burst into high drama and exclaim, “I can’t write and everyone hates me!” Sheesh, we are so melodramatic! Write a story and take advantage of the emotion!
The rest of her article, Writer’s Are So Touchy!, she gives some insightful suggestions on things you can do to help you get past being overly sensitive and more in to the creative descriptions that can help round out your characters and settings.
