b'Being criticized sucks. If you\\u2019re a writer and you\\u2019re putting your work out into the world for other people to see, you\\u2019re going to receive criticism.\\xa0But criticism is an immense part of writing well. Developing a critical eye makes you a better writer. And, sometimes, listening to other people\\u2019s criticism can help you find flaws in your own writing so you can fix them. It\\u2019s really, really hard to recognize our own flaws.
\\nIn this episode of\\xa0Rite Gud we look at criticism: giving criticism to your fellow writers, receiving it, when to follow it and when to reject it \\u2014 and most importantly, how to handle bad reviews.\\xa0
\\nTaking criticism can be a painful process but it\\u2019s really valuable.
