I'm not sure if this is where this thread should be, but I wanted to touch on the subject. Please feel free to move it if I have started it in the wrong area. That said...
Through my life I have learned to gleen something positive that makes me grow as a person/artist from good and bad critics. You are never as good as the great critique and never as bad as the really horrid one.
But, in AW, we are here to support and give constructive critiques to help our fellow writers become the best they can be as writers.
However, I have noticed in AW that there are members who just want to see their own writings and make smartass comments when they do a critique. That's not constructive. And it only makes you, the long-winded smartass, look immature and unprofessional.
I am not starting this thread because of things said about my work. It's just an overview of what I have seen while reading critiques on AW.
Forgive the title... I meant to write "Being a critic..." Is there a way to go back and correct the spelling?
