Constructive Criticism

1. The more gracious a writer is in accepting constructive criticism the louder the voice at the back of their mind is screaming, "Slay them, they have slandered my child and MUST BE PUNISHED!"
2. That's not me I'm kind of good about it. My first reaction is usually the words, "yea, but-" followed by a mini-seizure for a second or two, then I'll kind of smile and say, "please continue, I value your feedback its just that my subconscious has to beaten back."
