I love feedback!

One of the most treacherous traps for authors is their habit of falling in love with their own words. This is why those of us who are serious about the writing profession welcome feedback. How do YOU get feedback, and how do you use it?

Vladimir Nabokov
“My loathings are simple. stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music. My pleasures are the most intense known to man: writing and butterfly hunting.”
Vladmir Nabakov, Strong Opinions

Oscar Wilde
“I am not young enough to know everything.”
Oscar Wilde

Dorothy Parker
“I hate writing, I love having written.”
Dorothy Parker

Terry Pratchett
“The stories never said why she was wicked. It was enough to be an old woman, enough to be all alone, enough to look strange because you have no teeth. It was enough to be called a witch. If it came to that, the book never gave you the evidence of anything. It talked about "a handsome prince"... was he really, or was it just because he was a prince that people called handsome? As for "a girl who was as beautiful as the day was long"... well, which day? In midwinter it hardly ever got light! The stories don't want you to think, they just wanted you to believe what you were told...”
Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men
