User blog comment:Princess Callie/Why you shouldn't feel bad about criticism/@comment-25251081-20140801180741

You make a good point. However, after reading the pasta (which needed a lot of improvement), I read the comments.

And some of them were rather rude. Instead of calling someone's pasta 'quite bad', perhaps they could have said 'with some improvement, this story will be good!' and then explain what they need to fix.

My main problem with the criticism is that it's not written correctly. I always learned when writing criticism, you begin with a compliment, go in depth about what needs to improve, and end with a compliment. That way, the author doesn't feel like his work is all bad and no good.

But that's just my two cents on criticism.
