    Great article! I've always been good with taking criticism, though I will admit when I was younger I was very attached to my pieces and basically thought I was too good for criticism XD While I like hearing lovely things about my story, I prefer to hear criticism because I need to know what I can order to improve. As a writer, I feel like your writing should always be evolving and be getting better at it as a result. This article should be read more, especially for those who feel like other members are 'attacking' their work, when in reality we just want to help them become better. I loved the castle metaphor in the beginning, it was a nice way to begin it.

    I've always had such a hard time taking criticism but... this really makes it so much easier to understand. That's why I found this article helpful. It made me realize that it's not as bad as one might think. ^^

    Critiques are an art form just as much as prose and poetry. Nice post.
