@karthmin I really enjoyed this article. Maddie is a wise woman.
I love all her points, especially as a rather emotional person who definitely does get upset by harsh critiques, no matter how honest they may be.
No.1 is particularly good. When I had alphas/betas for the first two drafts of my novel I was expecting them to point out a lot of issues. Which they did. I spent ages fixing all the issues and then sent out draft three, feeling really good about myself.
And then got beta feedback and felt really discouraged because I thought I’d got most of the problems when I hadn’t actually…
Yeah, pretty depressing 😛
