Translation:<br /><br />Wow. You really need work.<br /><br />Everyone who follows your blog should know how much work you really need.<br /><br />I might deign to help you out, but only if you sign up with whatever chatroom I call my stomping ground and hunt me down.<br /><br />Even if that was not the poster's intent, it comes across officious and condescending. And for all you know they are just some tool who isn't really anybody you should care about. And honestly, they probably aren't anybody you should care about.<br /><br />Serious writers <i>want</i> critique. Serious critters, who are hopefully writers, provide it.

I was a bit annoyed to receive this comment from someone <br />"I have several thoughts, several suggestions, but would refrain from posting them publicly. Are you on YAlitchat? If not you should join. VERY valuable source for YA writers. When you do, find me, and I'll send you my thoughts via e-mail"<br />especially when as you mentioned you can easily send the person a message. I ended up having to join YAlitchat which I didn't really want to do and I'm beginning to think wasn't worth it.<br />I just wish they'd made the comments there and then! I welcome opinions - I don't just want compliments :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648307410383451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748612821639612993.post-41085983340988868152010-06-17T11:43:02.370-07:002010-06-17T11:43:02.370-07:00Must be the summer swelter steaming us all to a si...Must be the summer swelter steaming us all to a simmer. <br /><br />Boo-yah!
