Don\u2019t be Afraid to Talk<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an MFA in Creative Writing student, the thing I grapple with the most when it comes to my writing is sharing my ideas with other people, whether it\u2019s friends, family, or strangers on the internet. I never know whether I\u2019ve talked too much or scared them off, if I\u2019m rambling or not making sense, or if they\u2019re simply listening to humor me. And unfortunately for me, I\u2019ve found that the best way that I work through my ideas and drafts is by actively telling someone else about it: describing the characters and plot in (what may be) excruciating detail, trying to work through plot holes and hanging plot threads, and hoping I\u2019m crafting a cohesive story.<\/p>\n

The most widely accepted opinion among writers is that you shouldn\u2019t<\/em> talk to friends and family about your ideas or your writing because they\u2019re less likely to give you honest advice. That makes sense because they\u2019re personally involved with you, and they\u2019re afraid to hurt your feelings by being brutally frank with their criticism. But, at least in my experience, that\u2019s been far from the case. So, I have some advice of my own.<\/p>\n

Find a small group of people, maybe five to ten people, preferably somewhat close friends, who share the love for writing. Being in an MFA program can help with meeting people who can fulfill this role, but even a good friend who\u2019s known you for years and has come to expect your late-night text strings can work out. The most important thing to remember is that you want a sounding board<\/em>, not an echo chamber<\/em>. Be open and willing to both give and receive constructive criticism, because the more effort and enthusiasm you put into offering feedback, the more you\u2019re likely to receive feedback of the same level.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that just because something sounds good in your head doesn\u2019t mean it makes sense out loud. This is why my sounding-board committee is useful. They\u2019re the ones who won\u2019t be afraid to ask questions about plot holes, ask for more details, or even propose focusing on what I might have thought was a throwaway subplot. My eyes alone won\u2019t catch all the typos, plot holes, missed details, and stereotypes in my work And if they tell me that there may be too many problems with my story at the moment it moves forward, I don\u2019t get discouraged or upset because this group is trustworthy. You\u2019re doing a favor for your friends just as they\u2019re doing a favor for you.<\/p>\n

Also, being a writer means growing thick skin because there will always be someone who will bash your work. There will always be rejection letters. There will always be critics. Having honest friends who expect honesty from you helps you get used to not always hearing what you want<\/em> to hear.<\/p>\n

This sounding-board committee is really a professional and social network, a following or even a fan base, as you work on building a writing career. Enthusiasm is infectious. If you\u2019re excited, your friends are excited\u2014and vice versa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
