In my baking example, only a somebody who knows how baking works would be qualified to help somebody bake a cake properly. While I could ask any writer or avid reader to offer a critique on my writing style itself, if I were writing a fantasy novel, I would not ask somebody who dislikes fantasy to critique it. This is because someone's dislike for a specific genre may interfere with their ability to give useful feedback. A.L.S.

Which, really, is usually because they can't get past the mutant turtle concept to offer advice on the actual writing. So to be honest, I don't find many people to give real constructive criticism. When I do find someone, I tend to be so grateful that I consider every scrap of advice zealously. Thus Anna and I's need for a beta reader once we've finished our major revisions :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13505032135429162677noreply@blogger.com
