If I had a surfeit of friends, giving feedback on their writing or blog posts would be an excellent way to fix that in a hurry.

- ivmoreau 4y agoWhy? > he sends me his drafts to proof read I don't get why someone will be mad about getting corrections when they asked about it.
- EddieDante 4y agoHow many writers do you know? I ask because the writers I know tend to ask for corrections without actually wanting them. What they want is for people to read what they've written, but simply telling people to "make yourself useful and read my shit" (as one of my writer acquaintances put it while drunk) simply isn't done. They don't actually want corrections. Corrections would imply (to them) that they haven't in fact written heartbreaking works of staggering genius, but have instead failed to sufficiently polish their turds.
