Yeah, it can be hard to acknowledge it, but as long as the person giving it does so in a positive way, then it's not so bad.

This is a good subject! I'm definately not one to give cocrit, just because I know I'm not the greatest writer. So, I feel I don't have the right to...if that makes sense.

I don't mind getting concrit though. Although sometimes it's scary to me...I don't want to hear that I suck at what I love doing. Fortunately, I haven't gotten told that yet. lol. When I first posted on here it was Safest Place my Kevin story and it was only 12 chapters long. Mel (Mellz Bellz) was one of the first to review and she let me know about the whole putting my story in paragraphs and seperating dialogue and even how my story was missing a lot of the needed details.  So that concrit helped me out a lot, because I started to seperate my work into chapters and added more to my story. Thanks Mel. I had Julie give me pointers on Sinister Devotion about my punctation. Sadly, I'm such a hard head that I can't get it down. I definately have to go back and fix my coma crazy chapters. Thanks Julie!

Anyways, I don't mind getting concrit as long as it's not in a mean way. Cause I know that there are some people that do tend to sound mean when they give it. It also depends on who it is, it's actually exciting to get it from some of the top writers on the site!  ;)

I have to agree with Erica. I want to know what people honestly think but at the same if they think it competely sucks, I don't really want to be told that because it will make me give up. I enjoying writing because most days my fantasy world is better than my real world. I like the reviews I get but sometimes when all they say is, "loved it" or just "cute", I'm like "that's it?" That why I appreciate the feedback i got from mare on October Rd. I mean yeah it kinda bothered me when she said it was slow in some places but overall I felt the feedback was good and will try to keep it in mind as I continue writing.

I think concrit is a love/hate relationship.

No problem, Erika!  I am always up for helping with the grammar side of things, if I'm asked, because that's an area of strength for me, and it's something that's objective.  It's easy to give constructive criticism for that.  It's harder when it's an area of writing that is more subjective, as most are.
