Criticisms are deeming defects detected in a piece of writing that are needed to be corrected , needed to be adjusted , ideally required to be finetuned in line with the views of the corrector. Where it goes down well with the original writer , the correction is made and the issue ends there. Though ,it may be said that where corrections are made in good faith ,it may not be seen as criticism. But where issues are raised on a particular matter and it in turns raises dust ,it may be seen as criticism.

There Are Constructive Criticisms And Destructive Criticisms.

Constructive Criticisms are views expressed with a view to bringing out some defects noticeable in a piece of writing in good faith with amenable suggestions to amend the anomalies noticed.

Destructive Criticisms are raised with a view to killing the writer. Notably , issues are raised by bringing out the defects noticed in a piece of writing without tangible suggestions on how those defects could be corrected.

Read Cash Platform is different. Corrections are subtly made but not with the intention of killing the writer. Even it is not correction but comments that are friendly made. Kudos to Founders.

However , it is pertinent to note that Criticisms flow in the direction of the Authors of a book , writers of Magazines possibly the Author has made certain comments inside the magazine capable of diminishing the status of a particular person or reveal certain information capable of letting somebody down.

After all , one can react but reactions should be based on issues not on the Personalities of the author. Reactions based on personality are killing and destructive. Reactions based on the content of a particular book or magazine may not be regarded as destructive criticism because it is issue based.

Some Criticisms that are made are to silent the Authors but the Authors should not succumb to whims and caprices .

Why Writers Should Not Bow To Criticisms.

Writers should not bow to Criticisms but should ignore those that are flimsy in nature. Some Criticisms can cause distractions. Some distractions can derail one's objectives and mission as well as vision therefore one should not allow that to happen. The Criticisms that cat bring distractions should be ignored and should never be counted as an issue that can be given attention to.

Not all Criticisms should be listened to because the intentions of some Criticisms are bad and unwarranted. Concentrate on your future as a writer. Your future is paramount to you. If you concentrate on giving response to every criticism ,it implies that valuable Man -hour is dissipated on frivolities which could have been tailored in to useful things of life. Life is dynamic , Authors too must be dynamic.

Some Criticisms are meant to kill but writers , Authors should not allow Criticisms to kill them literarily. Don't allow it to douse your fire of interest and passion for writing. To grow as a writer , you need to develop thick skin to criticism and unwarranted attack on your work. Some people are in the habit of just to criticize you to frustrate you and make you lose interest in your work and cause untold damage in you.

Authors should not allow burning fire of writing to be extinguished and quenched in them. Criticisms should be taken to energize and strengthen you the more in order to move forward. You should remain focused and never lose sight of where you are going.

Remain consistence and steadfast. It takes time to build your writing you. The point where you have reached as a writer is not reached by sudden flight. Therefore your present position is reached through hardwork and perseverance. Prove to your detractors that you are not a lazy type that can be intimidated by thrash.

Their Criticisms should be taken as a stepping stone that would lift you to the next level. Of a truth , kindly regard their comments on your work as a ginger that would uplift both your mental and physical capacities that would take you to your promised lands. Laugh off their whims and caprices in order to be more stable.

You are not going to Author just one book in your life , you are writing as many as possible , therefore don't let them make you get stocked in one place. Literary works are not static. The world of literary is work in process. If they don't like one of your many works , doesn't mean that others will not make sense to them. There are more spaces to operate in life . Thanks for Reading.

My dear friend, you gave very good information about criticism, I didn't know that criticism can be divided into two categories. We must pay attention to their constructive, and not value to their destructive.
