I like to write short stories, and then I will post them into a writer forum. So far, most of the comments say that my stories are not really good. Do you think I should continue with writing?
link? i lazy search
do u write to get praises or do u write bcos u like doing it?
get the mindset right before u decide whether to continue
I like it. But I can't help feeling I am actually not very good at it.
If you think your good. You are good. Then you will write good. You may write good. But I may say your no good. So are you good? Or are you not good? To write is not a talent. But a choice. You make. Good.
"In my mind, the relationship between writers and critics is very like that between a cook and the customers at a restaurant. When a cook produces a dish, those who eat it will pronounce it good or bad. If the cook thinks the judgment unfair he can consider whether the critic is mentally unbalanced, ahs a furred tongue, is prejudiced or wants to get out of paying. He may be a native Guangdong who wants to eat snake, or a native of Sichuan who wants hot food. Then the cook may explain or protest – or, of course, he may say nothing. But if he shouts at the customers, “Very well, you cook the dish and let me taste it!” he will look rather like a fool."
