one way or another a large portion of people are going to say you're shite whether you are published, famous, outcast or novice. i completely agree with what you said on the questions for beginners thread about having thick skin, being able to accept criticism, apply feedback, not have a big ego, all that jazz. but my whole thing is if you want to reach the most people(not saying my poetry will ever reach anybody) then you have to be readable to the most people. if you want to impress the "critics", cultured and judges of good shite so to speak then its going to be hard for the common man to read you. i think you have to live somewhere in the middle
