True, I just have a bad habit of framing things in my own experiences with writing where getting someone to give criticism is a real pain. Leaving after getting just a little criticism just seems silly to me.
Definitely. Especially since she was told that one of her poems could have been very moving, but she'd rather it be about a far weaker premise.
Seriously? What was the weaker premise?
She wrote this poem (vignette?) where the narrator says she wants to protect someone close to them and that they are 'broken' more and more every time the narrator sees them. This could be about dealing with a friend or parent who has cancer, severely depression, or just a physical injury that is making them worse emotionally, physically, or mentally.
Instead is was about the narrator not liking that their friend was sad and instead of doing anything about it was whining, presumably on the internet.
