I have to submit my work for school and I’m terrified.

This week for my Workshop class, we are submitting our work to get feedback from our classmates and I’m terrified.

We all know not everyone knows how to give feedback. The last time I got bad feedback from someone, I didn’t write for about twenty years. They completely tore my writing apart. I was so devastated. I didn’t write again until about two years ago.

I have no problem reading in the Ninja classes because a staff member is there to make sure constructive feedback is given.

Katie reminded me tonight that the feedback they give is about them, not me. It’ll help me know how it reads to my readers. She said I could call her while I read the feedback to help get it in my feedback journal.
