I was just looking at some of my old reviews back when I was active on here and godd**n I was harsh! I grew up with a lot of demons and an unhealthily large ego about my writing ability, which meant I was great at giving harsh unforgiving feedback and also exceptionally terrible at taking it — probably why a lot of what I wrote was lofty unintelligible gibberish.

Anyways...

Y’all young whippersnappers — remember to have humility and stuff. Be friendly and you’ll make friends. Peace and love.

Haha, I didn't know you back then, but this is definitely good to keep in mind! I think with my reviews I tend to oscillate wildly between being too harsh and way too soft depending on my mood and how many reviews I'd written that day. I also sometimes find myself tailoring it if I know the person I'm reviewing - sometimes that means I'm more harsh, sometimes less, sometimes it just means I focus on completely different stuff than I normally would. >.<

I think you, @Deanie and I are like the Three Book Nerd Musketeers of YWS.

Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
