I probably wouldn't have a case or pink eye to save the day if that happened to me, though. lolChrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885739376242447475.post-80466984629660260642017-08-22T14:06:33.418-05:002017-08-22T14:06:33.418-05:00The information you have posted is very useful.

There have been so many times where I spoke/acted first and didn't think about it until later, and I ended up regretting what I said/did. It made me wish that I had taken a step away and taken a deep breath, while thinking about it before immediately going on the defensive, like you said.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885739376242447475.post-33914745524467106682017-07-05T15:26:28.256-05:002017-07-05T15:26:28.256-05:00Lesson learned!

After all, when I give feedback to others it's usually not on the spur of the moment either. I have to digest the story and consider various different ways it could be improved.Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885739376242447475.post-82316312555010956622017-07-05T14:48:22.477-05:002017-07-05T14:48:22.477-05:00I've learned to do that too.

Being able to manipulate a story and brainstorming fixes are some of my favorite things about writing, but handling other people's advice when it doesn't mesh with your own vision is super-tough.
