The grey area between writer and reviewer.
Today I found myself asking how do I know when to take someones suggestion in their review. Some suggestions I got made sence and I actually fixed the area's they mentioned.
Some suggestions fall into a greyer area. These suggestions are more about what the reviewer likes to see in a story as opposed to discussing grammatical errors.
So what am I suppposed to do? I know a writer cant please every reader and I also know we have to please ourselves first. Now if the story sounds good just the way I have it well at least to me should I leave it? Hmmm I tried the reviewers way and did not like it at all so I put it back the way I had it.
Now it still does not mean I am right however just because I like my way better. (granted I know I am the writer) Should I pay more attention to the reviewer or to my own ideas? Which brings me back to the grey area sometimes I just dont know.
If anyone out there has any thoughts they would like to share I would truly appreciate hearing from you. Not that I will take your advice for sure but it is nice to know what you think.
