| Yesterday, as a nonfiction writer, I wrote to a lady about my firm belief that I have an unchangeable mind: other people can make suggestions to me, but not critical ones. My experiences in the story are mine, and whoever I shared them with, not with others whose sole purpose is to tear apart my own personal writing. I hope other people who read any of the stories I write will be keen and calm in their understanding of not criticizing the experiences I have experienced, and not them. |
