The Single Most Important Skill You Need As A Writer - The Ability to Take Criticism

I know what you’re thinking. Surely my plot’s more important, or my world-building, or even your prose. It’s not. If you can’t learn this skill, you will never improve as a writer. 

To become a better writer you have to learn how to take criticism and use it to your advantage.  

Shall I learn how to fly while I’m at it?

Oh, come on, it’s not that bad. There are many ways to thicken up your skin that don’t involve fairy godmothers or magic powers. 

 Let other people read your work. This step is key. When you take the plunge into an ice cold lake, you know it’s going to hurt! Once you swim in it enough, you get used to it. 

Don’t take what they say personally. They don’t hate you just because they don’t like your work. You’re not a bad writer just because they don’t like your work. Usually, they have come across something that you could improve upon in your writing, and as long as you take this as an opportunity to learn, it doesn’t have to be a negative experience. 

Laugh it off. If someone is just giving criticism and nothing constructive they clearly lack the analytical brain required to have a valuable opinion. Laugh about how someone literally took the time to be mean to someone they’ve never met and realise how sad that is. 

Remember that rejection is like a muscle. If you stop submitting work after one rejection, you’re not going to develop thick skin, just like one bicep curl isn’t going to get you fit. You have to fail over and over again. Just like with exercise, it’s going to hurt. At the start, the more it happens the more it’ll hurt, but eventually it’ll stop hurting and you will be free to move onto the next step.

Learn from it. If the reader says they don’t understand something, or that they’re confused it doesn’t make them stupid. It just shows that there is something in your work that you need to make clear. Don’t get upset that you didn’t create a masterpiece on your first try, learn from the feedback and make what you have better. 

It will take time. It will be painful. It will be worth it.

I don’t have a title for this.

The issue is… I have no words. I have years that I don’t write in this blog, so long that having a personal blog, where one did the design and had affiliate links… just, got lost… but that is not why I am writing today. It seems that life does indeed give many turns and if you would have told me when I was very stubbornly focused on the Akashic Records that this would end like this, I wouldn’t even know what to think. I don’t think I can express into words what I want to say, given that nobody is here to listen. I have learned so much and also I seemed to have developed Schizophrenia, but instead of having voices talking to me about far Kingdoms or showing me other universes, I have voices in my head talk to me about a death game called life and you know what I refuse to believe? That everything I have done so far in my life all the Reiki, all the Energetic System all the experiences that had led me to think otherwise, suddenly this is a cero-sum-game, where doesn’t matter what I do, I’m destiny to commit some egregious mistake when I know that life will always prevail. No, creation could display such amount of beautiness and, sure, contrast must exist, because can you imagine a world where there was no evil or people were living their lives singing Kumbayá all day? What a world would that be, I would bet that no innovation would surge and I don’t think that whatever is creating this along with us, is trying to send me to a sure suicide.

I could tell you everything that had happened to me in the last two months, but honestly… it would be the ramblings of a crazy non-binary person, whose powers went on a haywire and now they kind of don’t work and the voices, good lord, I received the knowledge of the universe only to lose it to the void of those who never cared about me. I have like months without proper rest or really sleeping also, I am happy to announce that I was always right and drugs? I am a very good drug consumer, just Mary Jane, though. Everything else has been kind of a drudge disappointment. I learned and I moved on, but right now I feel like I’m… I’m not sure if drowning is the right word, but I feel like I’m losing my religion and you will come to understand that when one says that you are losing your religion, you are simply losing your words. And I know that it says that if you don’t get the enemies then you are not moving towards the right direction, but after a few thousands of dollars, I would like to say… invested because nothing is ever lost without consequences to those who promised… I can’t believe that this is where my so well-earned ‘high-vibration’ has led me to.

Because you know what the voices that are most certainly not coming from the Eternal Sacred Source? That every Energetic System I have brought and every consultation has just been to kill me or hurt me or a death tally, which is just ridiculous, because, why show the beautiness of the Other World, to simply to lose it to the hallowed ground? You know what is my problem right now? Being friendless and I don’t mean, oh, there are people on the internet that know me and is willing to talk to me on a regular basis. No, after everything that happened, that left me with a home visit from a psychiatrist that in the end decided that the people that hired said professional were the one who needed help, well… what can I tell you? Yes, I cannot even shield behind craziness, because I have been declared after all the filthiness I had to literally walk, because I had to break my feet in the hot/cold asphalt until the universe stopped me and told me to turn back or lost myself into the nothingness of the uncreated, that I am mentally sound and safe, which I don’t know how I feel about that. It feels like a betrayal, because I would need a book of the size of the Lord of the Rings to tell my story and the spiritual and mental abuse I’m currently going through, because… quoting a song in Spanish: “Cuando lo manda el destino, no lo cambia ni el más bravo. Si naciste para martillo del cielo te caen los clavos.” Which roughly translate, that it doesn’t matter what you or others do, up or down, you will have whatever it is that you paved your way with and I decided to simply fill myself with beauty and love and being extraordinary and simply keep going forward, because all those wishes for me simply perish or to off myself? They will eventually be my strength to whatever my True Self wants to lead me with.

So, if I have to use this blog again, because I don’t have a voice and nobody that has a physical body can reach me just yet, because the world is changing, make no mistake… of course is changing, to an epoch and what an epoch… I just… I didn’t need to repeat something so inherently vicious, because I have to wait for the world to get on with the times, but I will prevail, because I believe that all that happened to me that lead to my closest enemies to abandon me to a vicious house and a sole psychiatric visit, that what I lived, in that crazed delirium is a future that I will simply see. It is something that I witnessed already and you know what it is when something happens twice? It’s called Deja Vú. And I will wait and I will cry and I will suffer and I will scream if I have to, but everything eventually becomes a Regression to the mean and I just have to search and focus sharply on solutions while the promise I lived for myself, doesn’t necessarily come to fruition, but my natural state, returns and even if I have to wait a year to have a semblance of normalcy again. I shall do so. Because I deserve it because I have seen it. Because I say that so it is.

This evening, I asked the cards "What did I learn about myself today?" I drew The Desert from The Wild Unknown Archetypes, the Frog from The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit and the 9 of Cups from The Wild Unknown Pocket Tarot. I've been trying to find balance between life and creating. My creative drive takes so much from me so that sometimes I feel as if I have nothing left to give. The drive to create took my balance from me. I've been consciously trying to find peace and balance again, giving myself time to breathe and fill the well of my spirit with water again. Sometimes, unlearning how to be constantly busy and learning to rest is hard to do, but I'm learning every day. Creatity can come from anywhere, if I'm quiet enough to listen. #thewildknown #the_wild_unknown #animalspirit #Archetypes #resilliance #listen #rest #CreativeForce https://www.instagram.com/p/CYiAR8ls7NS/?utm_medium=tumblr

I heard from the pharmacist this afternoon. My second round of chemo starts next week. I get the prescription of Mavenclad on Tuesday and I start on Wednesday for five days. Then that’s it until next year when I go through this whole process again. If everything goes well, once I go through the treatment next year, that’ll be it. I’ll have to have MRI’s and what not to make sure the Mavenclad is doing its job and erasing/stopping the lesions that cause my multiple sclerosis, but I’m hopeful. 🌟 I’m not as afraid this time around because I know what to expect. The pharmacist said to expect the same or worse side effects. At least I know what I’m in for this time around, so that’s a good thing. 😊 I have to remember that this is all for my health and well being and take things one day, one moment, at a time. ⭐ I had no idea I would get the call from the pharmacy, but I wore this tshirt today. It was a Christmas present from my Wonder Mom. It reminds me of how strong I am and that I’ve already climbed mountains. I will do so again. ✨ Sparkle on! 🎇 #mavenclad #resilliance #igotthis #sparkleon #multiplesclerosis https://www.instagram.com/p/CWEj0TXrTI4/?utm_medium=tumblr
