The Feedback That Helps and the Feedback That Freezes a Draft
Angle: Not all feedback moves a manuscript forward. Some clarifies the next revision; some overwhelms or stalls the writer. This post would explore the difference—and why how feedback is given matters as much as what is said.
What it could cover:
- Why “everything works / nothing works” isn’t useful
- The emotional timing of feedback
- How beta readers can prioritize notes
- How authors can receive feedback without losing momentum
- The shared responsibility in the feedback process.
Why it’s relevant: Writers are asking for feedback more than ever, but few conversations address its impact on the creative process.
Discussion prompt:
What kind of feedback helps you revise—and what kind stops you cold?
