Finding someone to review your work really is crucial, though it does take a lot of courage...especially someone you respect. It's so much easier to hold your breath and turn it in, hoping for the best. Unfortunately, that's not the best way to improve or succeed in the creative industry.

I think the use of hyperbole is genius. It might be an overstatement of what anyone would actually verbalize, however, when someone tears down an individual's creative works (especially those that are near and dear), the gut reaction is to imagine the worst things possible about that critic before calming down and accepting that nothing is perfect on the first shot. Finding someone who is willing to confront us with that fact and help us improve is invaluable.

    I can relate to you when you say that it is easier to turn something in hoping for the best. Even if it is great work at the time you turn it in, a story or piece of art can always be improved upon no matter how good it is at the time. I agree with you that if you don't collaborate and take the risk of humbling yourself and accepting constructive criticism, you will never grow.
