02 - WAIT BEFORE REACTING:
TAKE TIME AFTER RECEIVING THE CRITIQUE BEFORE REACTING EMOTIONALLY. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO APPROACH FEEDBACK WITH A MORE OBJECTIVE MINDSET.
03 -READ THE CRITIQUE CAREFULLY:
TAKE TIME AFTER RECEIVING THE CRITIQUE BEFORE REACTING EMOTIONALLY. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO APPROACH FEEDBACK WITH A MORE OBJECTIVE MINDSET.
04 - ASK QUESTIONS:
IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND OR IF YOU'D LIKE MORE CLARIFICATION ON A PARTICULAR POINT, DON'T HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS. A GOOD CRITIQUE SHOULD BE A TWO-WAY CONVERSATION. BUT DISCUSS AFTER LISTENING OR RWDING IT IN ITS ENTIRETY.
05- LOOK FOR PATTERNS:
IDENTIFY RECURRING COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS. IF MULTIPLE READERS MENTION SIMILAR ISSUES, THESE ARE LIKELY AREAS THAT NEED ATTENTION. RECOGNIZING PATTERNS CAN HELP YOU PRIORITIZE REVISIONS.
06 - FOCUS ON THE BIG PICTURE:
START WITH THE OVERARCHING FEEDBACK REGARDING PLOT, CHARACTERS, AND STRUCTURE. ADDRESSING MAJOR ISSUES FIRST CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF YOUR MANUSCRIPT.
07 - PRIORITIZE FEEDBACK:
STEP/01 9 - CELEBRATE STRENGTHS: TAKE NOTE OF THE POSITIVE ASPECTS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE CRITIQUE. KNOWING WHAT WORKS WELL IN YOUR MANUSCRIPT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS UNDERSTANDING AREAS THAT NEED IMPROVEMENT. 10 - ITERATE AND REPEAT: AFTER MAKING REVISIONS, CONSIDER HAVING YOUR MANUSCRIPT CRITIQUED AGAIN. MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF FEEDBACK CAN LEAD TO A MORE POLISHED AND REFINED FINAL PRODUCT. 08 - REVISE STRATEGICALLY: PLAN YOUR REVISIONS STRATEGICALLY. ADDRESS STRUCTURAL AND PLOT ISSUES BEFORE FINE- TUNING LANGUAGE AND STYLE. THIS ENSURES THAT YOU DON'T SPEND TIME PERFECTING SCENES THAT MIGHT LATER BE ALTERED OR REMOVED. NOT ALL FEEDBACK MAY BE EQUALLY RELEVANT OR ACTIONABLE. PRIORITIZE THE FEEDBACK THAT ALIGNS WITH YOUR VISION FOR THE STORY AND RESONATES WITH YOU.
