how do you deal? i recently put up some of this stuff i wrote online somewhere and was told it was dog crap and also to f off. And that i was unoriginal.

So anyway it made me upset. 🙁 because it felt like it really was that, after hearing everyone tell me how creative etc i am, i guess it opened my eyes? but im still upset....but anyway how do you deal with criticism? i took this one in stride and now i guess i'll try to write better...

I usually just ignore criticism where someone is just saying things like 'it's crap' and etc, but when it's someone telling me ways to improve that's when I pay more attention to it.
Criticism can hurt but it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Beware of trolls!

criticism is good, it helps you to improve your skill and wider your perspective
just ignore those who told you, it's crap, f**kin' bad, etc
they actually got nothin' to say

depends if it's someone being rude or if it's constructive criticism.

if they are being rude and saying things like it's "dog crap" and don't tell me what makes it this then i simply tell them, "i don't need comments from an idiot like yourself" or "go shove it up your a$$ cause your opinion is 'dog crap'". 😀

if it's constructive criticism i just learn. in this case if they gave you suggestions then apply it to your next work if you think it's worth fixing.

don't feel down about what someone on the internet tells you, you'll never see them and you probably won't ever meet them. 🙂

& remember there is nothing "original", that was lost ages ago.

Unless people are just trolling, then I usually try to use constructive criticism to improve...but "originality" in writing is really hard to judge because many, many plot mechanisms have been used already; it comes down to the creativity.

Some people have obviously been influenced by others (Christopher Paolini and the Inheritance Cycle) but are still creative...while others like Peter Orullian, author of the Unremembered, should be sued for plagiarism (the Unremembered really ticked me off lollol)

In short, lol I guess my two cents is don't let it bother you, just keep on truckin

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

Are you really going to listen to someone who just posts negative "oneshots" or somebody who actively writes out a critique to your work?

The people who post one liners are just pathetic losers looking to overpower you. They feed off the negativity and makes them feel they deserve ultimate respect. Also, anonymity comes into play. They believe they can get away with anything because they are under the impression that they are hidden behind the internet. Typical cowards, really.

Pay no heed as there will always be people jealous of your successes.

Oh, and for the typical trolls, beware:

Charlie Wenzel was a prick who found himself in a lot of trouble after he tried to hide behind the internet. If you read all +51 pages, you will find out people obtained:

His Name
His Address
His Work, Home, AND Cell #'s
His Social Security Number
His pictures (both current and baby pictures)
His education level and which schools he went to
His Vehicle info plus pictures
His Parents info plus pictures
Everything about his Girlfriend

I think you get the point. Anonymity on the internet doesn't exist anymore, so be careful who you may piss off.

There is a simple solution to every problem; finding the simple solution is the difficult problem.
