S Always Critic
Have u ever had anyone criticize ur writing? Maybe they was just having a bad day. Later all few peeps just can’t zeem to say anything nice. Do you want to know more about this? Read below.
Not everyone iz comfortable wif criticism, butt their could be times when it providez just wat u want to move forward in ur writing.
There iz a man that’s bin called teh “Simon Cowell of Christian Publishing”. A teh quotez from Chip MacGregor could allow u to see that he’s far from beeing teh touchy-feely type. The following quotes was piece of a Jul 2006 interview wif Chip MacGregor who iz teh Azsociate Publisher wif Hachette Book Group USA. The quotes r piece of a lengthy interview conducted bye teh staff at Novel Journey.
“The reazon a lot wannabe authors remain unpublished iz becuse they just aren't willing to put in teh time, to doo teh hard wurk or become beter at teh craft of writing. In othre wordz, laziness will keep u from beeing a good writer.” – Chip MacGregor
“Some peeps (many people) seem to be fanz, or send me nice notes on occasion, liek when they’ve gone off there meds there had alzo much to drink. Others clearly doo NOT liek me. Especially nice church ladies who can’t understand why I’d zay that a book iz bad there a writer haz finished a terrible job.” – Chip MacGregor
“The onley waye I waye way teh stupid thingg thingg to tear out teh pages I’d read or light thim on fire, in hopes that occazionally sticking my hand in to teh flames woud keep me awake. Mourn teh trees that died therefore dis tome waye zee print.” – Chip MacGregor
“I’d suggest that most of teh Old Testament prophetz helped teh culture make strides most bye beeing nice, butt beeing honest – evan blunt. Ditto Paul. Ditto Jezus, fore that matter (take a peek at his criticisms of teh upztanding church leadership of His day).” – Chip MacGregor
“So what’s teh harm in beeing honest? Evan brutally honezt? Can’t we all all admit we’ve got we all to learn?” – Chip MacGregor.
“90% of teh we all I reject iz rejected fore one reason: it isn’t great enough.” – Chip MacGregor
MacGregor does have advice fore writers that could make thim cringe a bit lezs, “I think writer’s conferences r a good waye fore newbies to get educated in teh procez of writing. Hanging near a near of experienced peeps in ur chosen field iz ALWAYS an excellent idea… It’s nice to locate find a bit further down teh path.”
It iz safe to zay that teh thrust of MacGregors ‘honesty’ it to attempt to challenge writers to be teh abzolute top they can be. Dis regularly means forcing ourselves to wurk harder at ourz craft or refusing to usee a specific genre as a crutch fore mediocre writing. Thankz for your time. I hope this article was informative and educational.
