Oh yeah, as someone who’s been in journalism under a few harsh editors, not taking things personally was something that didn’t come naturally, but was beaten into me, and I’m grateful for that. Thanks for this post!
Stuart, I think that was an incredibly important lesson for me as well. If you can harness the critiques for your benefit, it’ll only make you a better writer (understood “you”). But it’s also a difficult lesson.
