The way I understand it, there are 6 sides to every story.
The way you see it, the way you want to see it and the way you think others see it.
Thus, between a writer and her reader, there's a lot of friggin' people. The reason I say this is because I've been toying with the idea to send in a story of mine to be published.
However, everyone always says there are only 2 sides to a story. But, there's not. I can't get over that fact. What I write can be miscontrued for any number of reasons. So, I have to ask myself, am I ready for the criticism?
Being a student, I was used to it, but I never really looked at a paper when I got it back from a professor. In fact, one of my professors held me back after class one night to give me a "pep talk" regarding my work ethic. I had an A in the class...I kept the A in the class.
Did I listen to her? Nope. I kept on doing what I was doing.
I wonder if criticized for a creative story if I'll continue down the same path, or if I'll change the way I write?
Thus, I ponder.
