I shared my first draft with a published author (I know, I know — the work was too young and fresh to be read by anyone’s eyes but my own but I did it anyway). I asked for comments on the story itself, not the writing style, as that still needed to be fleshed out. His comment, I can still hear the words: This is crap. Stay teaching biology and leave writing fiction to those of us who can write.
An ocean of tears later I’ve become a better writer despite his advice.

I recently shared a short story on a writing site. A story which I had no problem with but editors had said had too much ‘telling’. To resolve this I went to that writing board, asking for advice on how to handle reducing telling. Someone suggested I share it, which I did. They crossed out large portions of the story and questioned parts of the plot. Some of the comments were just silly but it has made me question the story completely. I no longer want to work on it. I didn’t share the story to get it ripped apart, I wanted to work on the telling problem. I don’t mind criticism, I find it helpful. But in this case, with the work being torn apart, I can’t get past it to make the story better, which was the entire point. Very confused at the moment.

Thanks for the Article, it is something I already knew inside but it’s nice and helpful to see it from someone more experienced. I tried to think of the worst thing someone could say about my book, and added a few swears for good measure. But I have a feeling it could still get worse then what I thought of.

Thanks for the advice. It’s hard to know whether he was being passive aggressive, or just commenting on the fact that there will always be positive and negative feedback regardless of the work. I agree that it’s “meaningless and unhelpful” when someone isn’t being clear, and I appreciate the advice to “let it pass and press on. After years of writing, some comments can still sting, but I’ve found that if I know what and how I want to create, and manage to do so in my own eyes, I have an easier time allowing negative comments role off my back, especially if I know what the comment means, and I clearly disagree. I find it harder when the message is unclear, because I don’t know if they’ve got a legitimate argument or not… So you’re advice works well here.

In reply to A writer. I understand where you're coming from, because words like that can make us question what they mean. There might be hidden meaning, but it doesn't matter. If someone's not clear and obviously trying to rattle you, it's meaningless and unhelpful. Try to let it pass and press on. That's not always easy, but it's what you have to do and keep writing!

Thanks for the article, Bryan. I have a question for you. I was talking with an experienced writer recently, and someone next to us asked how my book launch went, and I said it went well and received much positive feedback. The experienced writer turned and said “then maybe you didn’t get enough feedback”. I responded by saying I would welcome more feedback… but what the write said has been brewing in my mind for a while now. I keep thinking, maybe he didn’t like my book. Despite his experience, he writes very different material compared to me, but I still respect him as a writer, and his comment is bothering me.

Great post, Bryan! Just what I needed today. It’s challenging to keep a level head when we see so many of our peers, family and friends melting down. I agree with you. It’s unrealistic to let others’ negative comments get to you. Like our work, we humans are all a work in progress. Thanks for the inspiration, MG.
