I will admit it...I don't take constructive criticism well. I tend to get defensive and tune things out - not a good thing when you ask people for their opinion, right? I finally worked up the courage to share my blog address with some of my family and asked for their comments. Sucker for punishment I know...but I figured if I was going to take the time to write opinions/events, I might as well have someone read them.
Here is where the sigh of relief goes...they liked it. Means that I can keep writing in a style that I like, and I'm on the right track with topics so far (I admit I haven't tackled anything controversial yet, but haven't decided yet if I will).
Thank you to those who have read it so far...makes me feel like I could share my writing with a wider group. Maybe after I relish in their positive comments for awhile!
Julie, congrats on finding a new creative outlet. Starting my blog just over a year ago has been a blessing to me in more ways that I can ever explain (even though some of those close to me that are unfamiliar with blogging or other social media outlets can bring me down sometimes). Good luck on your new journey and I look forward to reading along. Happy writing!
