I am going to go out on a limb here and ask who exactly has the right to critique another's work? Does it mean you have letters after your name? Are you a Master in Philosophy, Poetry,Theology, Prose? Even if you are, {and I am not being sarcastic,}do you really know the language of the heart?
You may have a young person bleeding, through poetry,her/his heartfelt sadness. On the other hand, you may read another person who has, {in their world} made it, through publishing their novel.
But who are we, really, to critique another writer?
I have a problem here. Are we, as readers right to point out a typing error?Do we have the right to say; oh, your plot is totally wrong? Or your grammer needs a tweak in the right direction? How much criticism does the beginner need to take on board before he/she decides to say, to hell with this idea?
Before I ever critique a piece of work on Faithwriters, I read behind the lines of their article. I can usually perceive where the writer is at his/her stage of development, and I will usually critique along that line.
My brother has spent his entire adult life studying drama, writing plays,acting, singing, composing. God Bless him and his art!
However, when I showed him my art of composing music or writing lyrics, he seemed only too happy to tell me where I was going wrong! I was a mere beginner and I can honestly say, he stopped me in my tracks!'
This is the danger of being a little too critical in analyzing another's art.
For all you writers, poets, novelists on Faithwriters, let me assure you to let youselves flow in your ability to put pen to paper and I wish you the very best in your endeavours.
