Thanks for this post...Welcome to the team, Yolanda! Thanks for this post. It is timely and necessary. As both an editor and a writer, I sit in. Org aides of the critique desk. One thing that keeps me from taking criticism personally is to remember my goal whenever I edit a writer’s piece — to help them write the best possible article so their message (and they) will shine. If we assume this about every critique we receive, it takes out the personal component and makes it all about the work itself, not the writer.Lori Hatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675180460653949981noreply@blogger.com
