Creative Criticism

Our exercise this week is to upload to the DMU Blackboard a piece of creative writing which we would like some feedback on. I admit I did this with some trepidation - it's hard receiving a critique. At the back of my mind there's a demon that may well take things personally. I need to banish this and separate my self esteem from the writing. I think the trick is to get the balance right, needing to understand valid criticism and learning from it while discarding criticism which you feel is

Be interesting to see any posts i get back. Also be interesting to see how the criticism is worded compared to the vitriol that the 'real' online world can spew up ;-). One of the hardest aspects of posting on the intrenet is that unlike the transliterate many people do not interact with appropriateness.
