(Thank Janus it’s Friday. Because today I’m offering praise to someone who might help me see the other side of the coin.)
I got two different pieces of feedback on the post I did yesterday. The first – from a dear, close source said the voice was wordy, and a little sterile.
The second told me the voice was nice and strong (and made my evening, btw).
All writing is subjective, right? ^_~
What’s a writer to do? What do you do?
I like to get rejection for people whose opinion I trust–if I can 🙂 I think your story chain was great. There that’s two votes of confidence.
You know your voice and your style. If the advice is helpful and doesn’t detract from you as a writer, it’s good. Otherwise, be grateful for the perspective and move on. Don’t change anything without knowing it needs to be changed.
Yep, that’s why it’s good to get a few different opinions and then decide for yourself. We can’t please everyone.
