Yeah, but...

If you haven't read this post about the two words you should never say when getting critiqued you really should.  So head over to Writer Unboxed and give it a try. 

I've got family coming in town this week so I'll be a little scarce on the blogosphere.  See you all next week!

    I had one person I used to beta read for me do that all the time. I drove me nuts.

    Great link to article. I don't argue with readers. They have a right to their opinion as I do.

    I haven't had much (any) experience with critiques or CPs, but this was good food for thought for when I get to that point.

    Have a great week and a fun time with the family.

      Thanks, Mark. Even having had critiques and beta reads it's a great reminder on how to accept criticism.

    Eep, so true! I have to fight the tendency... Starting a synopsis early on is a good way to help beat it :-)

    Hi, Sara,

    That was very enlightening. We have ALL said those immortal words. I like the advice the author gives. Find out WHY...

    Thanks for sharing and have a great time with your family.

    I totally understand busy family schedules making a person scarce in the blogosphere!

    Enjoy your family time! We'll all still be here. :) And I am so guilty of saying, "Yeah, but...". I need to be more conscious of that.
