    They aren't counting for me. I wrote a review there and it still says I have 50.

    When I try to post in the Read/Write forums, it doesn't let me. I type out a post and hit "Submit", but it doesn't go through. If I'm doing it ...

    You could say that it's for anyone who's young compared to a mature bristlecone pine. Considering those things are thousands of years old, that means everyone. :D

    This. So much. I still see works that don't even have the word "I" capitalized. People learn this stuff in first and second grade! Why is it so hard?

    Any questions? Yeah, how do I keep my head from exploding from the awesomeness?

    Review Ratio: I like the idea, but I still think you should have to have more reviews than posted works.

    Am I missing something? It seems like many of these episodes have nothing to do with writing. Just instafishe and the Karoshi theme song.

    Yeah, better than hiking it up to five all at once.

Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
