darkemeraldsWhat's the best and worst criticism you've ever received? And how did you assimilate it?
I'm thinking mostly of feedback on writing, but I'm interested in experiences of any kind of critique you may have received on any kind of activity.
Here's why: In September I'll become a certified Story Grid Editor. There's a big discussion among Story Grid course-mates about how to make sure the client is ready for the editorial work.
Well, receiving feedback is a skill, and I want to write a little book or cheat-sheet for prospective clients to help them build that skill. I've managed to acquire it, but I don't know how I did it.

- Do you have the skill?
- How did you get it?
- Was there a particular turning point?
- Or do you avoid critique altogether? If so, why? And is there any ideal situation under which you'd be open to it?
