One of the things I want to do on this blog is to chronicle things I go through when writing a novel from start to finish. Today my inner critic bit me in my butt. Someone wasn't as enthralled with some writing that I thought was great. The first thing I did was get defensive. The second thing I did was think that everything was crap, garbage...whatever you want to call it. Then I pouted like as baby for about two hours. The lessons to be learned here are:
1. take a deep breath and examine what's been said and whether its valid criticism;
2. come back to the original vision you had for your work to rejuvinate yourself; and
3. tell your inner voice to shut-up and remember that you write great stuff
