    Manuscript Feedback That’s Gracious yet Demanding

    Manuscript Feedback That's Gracious yet Demanding, The Cultivated Life, Karen Hugg, https://karenhugg.com/2014/01/06/manuscript-feedback #writing #feedback #manuscript #editorialfeedback ‎

    In an issue of The Writer’s Chronicle from a few years ago, teacher Catherine Wallace wrote an interesting article on how to solicit manuscript feedback from editors, teachers, classmates, friends, family, whomever. She discussed the dangers of fault-finding criticism while outlining what kind of feedback she believes is most helpful. She argues that caring for a manuscript is not unlike raising children: you must praise them for behaving. Otherwise, fault-finding reverses creative momentum. It drives the writer back to what’s already written instead of onward toward the development of the essential vision and into more useful imaginative energy.

First newsletter on @substackinc is out! I love this new platform. You can read my free monthly archived newsletters, and/or pay a small fee for gardening advice and a plant community.
I spent a good part of this last year grieving the loss of loved ones and grieving the loss of my own health. It's been a heck of a challenge to stay positive. But in November and December, I turned a corner and feel much more hopeful. I'll write about that experience this week on my website.
Last minute Christmas gift? A good book to help folks better their lives in the new year. Or so I've heard. 😉
Hey all, turns out even having fake plants around can help your #Mentalhealth! My new article is in Shondaland.
