“Negative feedback is better that none. I would rather have a man hate me than overlook me. As long as he hates me I make a difference.” - Hugh Prather
I recently posted a non-beaded craft I had made on a how-to site, for a contest. I was amazed and appalled when I was viciously attacked in the comments section! Not only did this individual write unwarranted and mean things, they tried to recruit others to do the same. I was crushed, and even cried...and stopped sharing my work with the world for awhile. Then I read a few of these articles, and they helped me realize that There are mean people in the world, not everyone is going to like me or my work, and I DID put myself out there. The trick is to get back on the horse, and never let someone steal your inspiration.
Good luck!
