Hmm. Must ponder this further.

For me it's not "Oh man, I suck," it's "YES! Now I know how to fix it!" Granted, it took a while to get to that mentality, but I'm grateful to have someone showing me my mistakes rather than flaunting them in public.

They pay well, but I'm having doubts it's worth the blow to my confidence. And now I have edits for my next book in my inbox and I'm scared to look at them! There's comfort in knowing every single writer feels that way when our work is criticized.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-17106469287415395572016-11-11T19:11:26.952-05:002016-11-11T19:11:26.952-05:00Thank you Heather.Thank you Heather.Cathrina Constantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960849263181625782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-19609631538712740492016-11-11T17:10:44.077-05:002016-11-11T17:10:44.077-05:00Aw, sorry you've been feeling insecure about y...Aw, sorry you've been feeling insecure about your writing. I get that way about my work, too. (I think all of us do.) Best of luck pushing through your doubts so you can tackle those edits!Heather R.

Next time, there'll be much fewer things to correct and then you'll feel better.<br />Deanie Humphrys-Dunnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158137427355179676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-30412142758154019802016-11-11T14:41:03.377-05:002016-11-11T14:41:03.377-05:00I get a lot of criticism from my CPs on my first d...I get a lot of criticism from my CPs on my first drafts too. But if they didn't tell me what's wrong, I wouldn't know what needs fixing. So I try not to be depressed, and just concentrate on getting the ms where it needs to be. Have a good day off from babysitting and enjoy your weekend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-29149284813190230112016-11-11T07:38:52.227-05:002016-11-11T07:38:52.227-05:00Awww...thank you Alex!Awww...thank you Alex!Cathrina Constantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960849263181625782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481323769336692447.post-11313699589681834132016-11-11T07:15:37.552-05:002016-11-11T07:15:37.552-05:00Take the day off to work on those edits and rememb...Take the day off to work on those edits and remember you are a great writer!<br />And yes, Amen and thank you to our veterans.Alex J.
