As a full time bitch, often I find it tricky to be constructive with my opinions, as I don't want people to badly represent their ideas or their brand, but I also don't want to waste time. This gives me a whole lot of anxiety about sharing my views with new people, do you gut them or do you mince words?
My other problem with being a mouthy northern internet troll is that I am 5 foot 2 and weak AF.
See? Cute and artsy sure, but I'm a lover not a fighter.
So imagine my horror when my boss asks me to critique the work of a *anonymous* journalist. I don't want to point out weak ideas, girl please. Half the time I don't even remember "i before e" so who am I to judge someone who LITERALLY is paid to write.
However, your girl loves to judge.
In the end, we kept a lot of their work, but I found that even though I had far less experience, I still could make positive contributions.
At the end of the day, constructive criticism is our friend, and I can rely on the fact that when I write substandard pieces (and there will be) I will receive critics. The lessons we learn from feedback are the most important ones.
*stay on point*
As long as I produce content, I need to be brave enough to open my big mouth to convey ideas, and close it long enough to listen to the people who can help me grow.
