\"computer-write-300x200\"<\/a>Today we welcome back Author Raina Schell to Writer\u2019s Fun Zone as she shares with us \u201cConstructive Criticism.\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cConstructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one.\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 Wikipedia<\/a> –<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re a fledging writer you will probably receive two kinds of input. The first is constructive criticism<\/a> and the second is unconstructive criticism or as I like to call it = Bull$h!t<\/p>\n

The danger, at first, is that you may not know which is which and if you receive mean-hearted unconstructive criticism you may abandon your dream altogether.<\/strong> Remember when you were a kid and you had a dream? It\u2019s happened to all of us at one point or another in our lives. You had a dream and some mean-spirited adult masquerading as well meaning told you that no matter what you did or how hard you tried you would never accomplish it. They convinced you that they knew best and because of X, Y or Z you could never achieve your goals.<\/p>\n

\"cafe<\/a>It could have been that jealous theater teacher in high school who was a teacher and not an actor because they themselves failed at becoming famous. Or perhaps it was a parent who didn\u2019t want you to be a police officer because you may get hurt in the line of duty so they told you that you were too out of shape. It could have been an older sister who was envious of your amazing voice and told you that you couldn\u2019t carry a tune. The examples are unlimited but you get the idea. Well, the same exact thing will happen when you start to put yourself out there as a writer, before you\u2019re published. After you\u2019re published even if you are crap, they\u2019ll tell you how fabulous you are but that\u2019s a different blog post.<\/p>\n

From my limited experience I\u2019ve found that the writers who are kind and encouraging, the ones who take the time to build you up, pat you on the back and take you under their wings are the successful ones.<\/strong> I meet a lot of writers, I talk to a lot of writers, I attend a myriad of writing classes. The writers who I have personally chosen to be my critique partners are kind and helpful. If they don\u2019t like the way I\u2019ve written something or think I can do a better job they tell me nicely. They don\u2019t put me down, belittle me, condescend or patronize. A New York Times bestselling writer in my RWA group has been one of the most encouraging women to me and other new writers. Other women in my groups who are both traditionally and self-published have also been kind and helpful. However, this is not always the case, nor will it be. For every five nice, kind, wonderful, helpful people there is always at least one a$$hole.<\/p>\n

I count myself lucky that I\u2019ve only run across a couple so far. Women with obviously low self esteem who, for no reason other than to make themselves feel better have tried to tear my writing apart in patronizing, nasty, self inflated ways that was not helpful to me. These people also happen to be unsuccessful, which I understand is part of their reason for putting other writers down.<\/p>\n

\"womanI know I have a lot of work to do but I also know I\u2019m a good writer.<\/strong> I have doubts about other aspects of my life but not about my writing. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m anywhere near great but I believe I have that potential. I\u2019ve been writing for my entire life. I\u2019ve even earned quite a successful living as a writer.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sharing this because if someone who isn\u2019t confident in their abilities or even if someone is having a bad day; an attack on their writing could keep them from following their dreams and that would be a huge shame. Sometimes people are taught that constructive criticism is pointing out their faults and \u201chelping\u201d them to become better writers but I disagree. If you read the definition at the top of the page it is delivered \u201cin a friendly manner, not in an oppositional one.\u201d There are ways to tell someone anything NICELY! A very well known teacher said to me a week ago, \u201cthat\u2019s really good writing and I like it a lot but I think it could be even better with\u2026\u201d THAT\u2019S THE KIND OF CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO! And that\u2019s the kind you will get with a professional, successful writers and your helpful critique partners. Please don\u2019t settle for anything less and please don\u2019t take writer bashing by meanies to heart, remember they\u2019re the ones who suck – the life out of everyone around them because they\u2019re unhappy\u2026 (not you)!!!<\/p>\n
