The Art of Receiving Critiques Gracefully
Criticism is hard. It's one of the tougher parts of writing because it's frightening. No one wants to hear what's wrong with a manuscript, especially after putting so much into it.

Learn to accept it as a tool to help you move forward in your writing.

Wear the Sunglasses
“How do I look?” He turned around with a silly smile on his face. He looked sharp, with common sneakers, jeans, and a polo shirt covering his frame.

She twirled, and the knee-length dress billowed above the bobby socks sticking out from black buckled shoes. Her hair was in pig tails, pinned just like the pictures. It was essential that they looked just like the human images on the page. They both felt presentable. They both felt they would be believed out there. They were excited that they had been chosen for this important job.
