I'm California-bred writer/journalist based in Brooklyn, NY. For fun, I started a long-term creative writing project/novella for fun. It's 20k words deep and largely involves my relationship with my crazy dad and my post-college misadventures.
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. — soundofmind
