    THE WIDER CURRENCY OF CRITICISM

    CRITIQUE & REVIEWS Hey writer, do you know that successful people tend to look at the wider currency of criticism? Instead of taking each review – whether positive or negative – too much to heart, they see it for what it…

    DO YOU KNOW WHY IT HURTS?

    CRITIQUE & REVIEWS Do you know why it hurts? Criticism stings, and it can sting even more for writers as it relates to something we made. Something that may be deeply personal, or that we feel very protective of. But…

    NOT ALL FEEDBACK IS VALID

    CRITIQUE & REVIEWS Not all feedback is valid. I can’t stress this enough, so I’ll say it again: Not all feedback is valid!  As I’ve mentioned before, people can’t help themselves. They just love to dish out criticism for all…

    JUST DON’T BE A DICK

    CRITIQUE & REVIEWS Once upon a time I used to love reading the reviews in The Sunday Times. It was my most precious indulgence as a poor single mum living in the north of Sweden. I’d pick up the thick…

    ANIMAL CHARACTERS A – Z is like a Who’s Who of animals I’ve come across in storytelling. I list the main/central animal characters from books, tv-series, films and games. Because there are so many of them, I won’t be able…

    CRITICISM
    When To Pay Attention?

    HEY WRITER, do you know when you need to pay attention to negative feedback? And, by extension, when you should just ignore it? “Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore…

    DOs and DON’Ts for Critics
