Criticism

I can't take criticism.

I can take a joke.
I can take it easy.
I can take care of myself.

But I can't take criticism when it comes to writing.
I wrote some fiction crap, thought it was pretty good and decided to post it on writing.com to get some feedback.
I'm a wuss.
I got positive feedback on my writing but harsh criticism on my punctuation.
You would think I'd be pleased and relish the opportunity to fix whatever I'm doing wrong.
Nope.
I became extremely self-conscious and deleted everything.
I kept feeling like I was an illiterate loser because I couldn't punctuate properly.
Are there therapist for budding writers?

Oh well, since I'm punctuation deficient, maybe I can specialize in txt msg fiction.

So where can one find this posted fiction of yours?

Boy, I deleted that shit.
I mean...I saved it for myself but it's no longer "out there".

F^*^ those pedantic asses. It was beautiful.

Who cares that you punctuate like a 5 year old?

I don't... :-)

At least email it to me!

I'm really curious and I won't harsh you.

Me too! And, I don't give a damn, about punctuation neither.

Yeah, I'm spamming your blog, whatcha gonna do about it? That's what I thought. :-)

Trust me people, I had the pleasure of actually reading it and it was beautiful. I mean I totally would have had mad, passionate and hot monkey sex with her if I got that. Well, actually De's got nice boobies so I'd prolly do it anyway as long as she wore her tiara first and grew (or bought) a penis...LOL
