Interview What was the most discouraging feedback you ever got? I don't mind critical responses to the work - especially when it's still in process. When they're negative they're either silly, axe-grinding or perceptive and therefore useful. An English professor in college once said to me, "Basically Arlyck, I think you're an unruly person." There's no response to such a judgment. |
