✨ Community Prompt: Compliments & Critiques ✨

One of the strangest parts of being a writer is this:

We carry compliments like secret lanterns…

and we carry criticism like splinters — even when it’s true.

So let’s talk about both. Not to self-doubt… but to grow.

What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received on your work?

(What line, comment, or reaction stayed with you?)

What’s the most accurate criticism you’ve ever received?

(The kind that stung… because it was right.)

💬 Drop your answers below — and if you want, tell us what it changed in your writing afterward.

This is a safe space. No egos. Just craft. 🖤
