can't take criticism

[mwestbelle]

I'm not really sure why I took a creative writing class...I fucking hate criticism. Not in general. Just the tone...especially one person who told me to START A BLOG and get more comfortable with writing. Shut you face, bitch, we all think you're a pretentious skank and it wasn't an essay about not being able to write, it was an essay about not wanting to write creative nonfiction because I HATE IT. RRRGH. I'm pissed. It's not like I think it was the bestest essay evar--I'm in a creative writing class because I need to improve, but it sucks that I'm getting nitpicked to shreds because no one has the balls to actually criticize the really shitty essays that get handed out. I really don't have a problem with people saying I should have a more unified theme, or that my sentences sometimes get hard to follow or that it was rough-draftest (which, yeah...I wrote it in one sitting on Sunday night because this assignment KILLED ME) but when you're just elitist and bitchy--NOT COOL. Stop acting like you're SOOOO far above all of this, you're in an intro class too. *wordless expression of rage*

I've never really thought about it like that... huh. I don't know, I just always write original fic because I'm so paranoid that I'm going to get people out of character I don't even bother trying.
