Damn BronxWench!!! I commend you!!!!

I think this is a difficult realm really. As a writer, at first I didn't get any reviews about my grammar or spelling. I got a few when I had format problems but nothing major and I got a beta-reader off my own back who checked the basics for me. However, as my story went on I started getting more critical reviews, pointing out some problems with the fic. I started in 2007 and my writing style has progressed, and I think improved. I got helpful and critical reviews where they made suggestions. I think that's a key word here. being able to suggest things or give advice rather than listing the negatives is a great thing for a writer. (Or at least I think so.) I now have a great beta-reader who 'teaches' me as she edits my work. I'm learning a lot about grammar and punctuation that I didn't know about before. And I thought I had the basics down! I have even had emails in which I was able to throw ideas and questions back and forth about the layout and pace of some chapters. It was really helpful. However, from a reader's point of view, I can understand how hard it is to be critical and constructive without sounding critical. There seems to have been a boom recently in young writers, those who have just turned 18. I was talking to one a while back who asked for my advice and opinion on her fic. I edited the first chapter to her and explained where things were wrong grammatically (I am no expert but my beta-reader has been teaching me.) I began to explain that she swaps the tense, (trying to remember an example :S) and the person. So it was; 'They kept their hands...' and in the next sentence it was; 'then we both screamed..." I tried to explain this and said that the tense kept being changed from past to present tense but the writer didn't know what I meant by tense. It leaves you in an awkward situation, because I will never claim that I'm an expert or know that much but I so wana help other writers as a reader and reviewer, like my readers have helped me. I feel my writing has improved from it and I definitely have a better understanding of grammar now. But where do we draw the line? I've had negative reviews before, that make your heart sink. Some are just uncalled for, not constructive at all. You think; why did you even leave a review? why did you read it if you don't like it. (Especially when warnings are up everywhere and suddenly someone is outraged about something that was pre-warned.) I've learnt that you can't please everyone. Every writer should and does write for themselves. So as readers I think we need to respect that and make sure our reviews aren't clouded in self-righteous negativity. I think if you can offer advice in a positive way then the writer will be more willing to take your advice on board. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all voice our opinions without upsetting each other? Thing is it will upset some people. I think reviewers need to be mindful of that but if they think they can help the writer then I think con/crit reviews laden with advice should be left. But remember positives people! Positive reviews with friendly advice! B xx
