I hate to put myself up like this, but I feel like the last review I did was, although written with honesty, might've hurt?
My question is this: is there a thread that explains how to give honest reviews without stepping on the author's toes? I mean, personally, I usually hate to be critiqued because I don't aim to please–––s'just a bonus–––but on the rare occasions when I want to be critiqued, you bet your ass I want that person to break every bone. I want them to tell me I'm s***, because it gives me fuel to do better, to go deeper and bare more scars.
But I know everyone isn't like me---thank God for small favors, eh? I realized long ago that not everyone has my kind of skin and way of thinking, that some people are actually fragile when it comes to their writing and such.
I don't want to hurt anyone. I do, however, want to give honest reviews that tell the author where improvement is needed and where they shine.
So .. how do I do this?
