The truth is that maybe you haven't written a great story. Maybe you aren't perfect. Maybe you can learn from other people. But you can't learn if you stick your fingers in your ears and hum the Mission Impossible theme song when someone tries to give you some friendly advice. And yes, I mean you there, the one sitting there with her arms crossed wondering who the hell we think we are.
Writing is a craft.
It takes practice. You can learn from other writers, so open your mind and listen. This is our small attempt to promote constructive criticism and reduce the number of ridiculous stories. We won't be successful, of course. But we have fun trying.
