I’m reminded how everyone takes their writing personally. Even people who really don’t deserve the tag “writer,” will take real offense if you criticize something they’ve put to paper. And the real writers? They’re no better. It’s a sort of righteous indignation. It’s a conscious choice, I think, to listen to someone criticize your writing and take it to heart. The critique group I’m part of, they will be brutally honest with people. We’ll see how I do when the time comes for me to read something to the group.
