BOOBIES!
Good news: I took my notebook with me to dinner, and got some writing done!
Bad news: when I got home, I dropped my bag (and v. pointy notebook) on my toe.
Ow.

I think, the fact is, as writers, we're all fragile no matter how well we say we can take it. It's what we do with the concrit. I see people talking themselves out of the criticisms they receive, telling themselves the person is wrong. And that's not really helpful to yourself. It was funny, last night I saw Hart Hanson tweeting about how he was writing and it was crappy, and Jeff Eastin replied that what he was writing was crappier. It made me think, last year I went to a Doctor Who con and I was talking with Rob Shearman, a writer, (both of us were SO DRUNK at this point) and he said that the feeling that your writing sucks never goes away. Even if you're a professional, getting paid for it, you will always think your writing is terrible.
That actually made me feel better. Well, except that realization that the feeling that my writing is horrible will never go away, but that I'm not alone in it. People who are paid to write feel the same way about their work.
♥! I've kind of always been one of those people that people find they can talk to about anything. I'm accustomed to it at this point. :)
