It is important, as I have found, to criticize oneself when one wants to improve. For an instance, if one is considering writing as perhaps a future career, then it is very important that the person reads other books, and edits their work, and edits again, and three times more, just to make sure that one hasn't put a "." in the place of a "?".
I like to edit my work before I post it anywhere (storybird, wattpad, creative crystal) or give it to anyone to read (family, friends, teacher). I enjoy knowing that I've ran over the information and done everything the way I would like it to be done, so that I now may rest in peace, because I have finally checked everything.
Critisizing is important in the life of a hobby and an aspiring artist. I suppose it help when, after writing your sonnet for three hours, you go out of the room, make yourself a milkshake, et cetera - and that when you come back, you look at your scribbles (excuse me - I do know some people have neat handwriting, but I don't!) with the fresh eyes of an indifferent stranger. Be cool, recollective - think of what was your favourite book that you've read before. Did Margaret have "broun" or "brown" hair?
Okay.
So, I just wanted to explain that it is very important to critisize oneself!
PS: I know that there is an app called "Grammarly", that can help one with punctuation and the spelling of words - but does that really help you?! What do you learn? DO you learn to lean on the help of others?
