Handling criticism

by damien Isaak
27th September 2013

It's a common fact that every writer whether professional or amateur received criticism for the work they have done. No matter how much you love your own work there will always be someone out there who believes they could've wrote it better.

J.K. Rowling received several court claims for plagiarism. Example Larry Potter. She was also heavily criticised for her writing style. (Clearly she kept writing in her own style)

Damien Isaak aka ME accused of plagiarism. Resolved.... (My answer never judge a book by its cover)

Dan Brown for the da Vinci code. They said he's writing was clumsy, ungrammatical and repetitive. (He realised he's writing brought pleasure to millions)

What criticism have you received and how did you handle it ?

Regards to all......

What criticism have you received and how did you handle it ?

Oops. I misunderstood you, Melani.

I apologise. I thought you meant that she was the editor of the highly critical review of your work.

I don't understand Adrian?????? Why do you know not to use Lorna Fergusson? She's the GOOD editor! I am not going to disclose the editor who I wasn't happy with. I think it would be unfair and churlish. And some people may have found her services helpful... who knows?
