!LUV this Dreems. You got me with this clip and your write-up. I could almost feel my own lip turning up and quivering with him. I think this is a lesson for everyone to make sure we don't go around poking hearts IRL or here on Hive. Sometimes it is hard to find a way through on this platform though when you feel you need to voice something to someone in order to help them and have no idea how they will take it or how to deliver the message without poking their heart just a little, but you can just see that unless somebody says something, they will continue to keep hitting their head against a brick wall in trying to make progress. I personally value constructive criticism on my own posts as it helps me to grow as an author and I find it hard when I see some people constantly just praise praise praise an author's work when it clearly needs development and I feel a few pointers would help them so much more in improving their craft. I try very hard in these cases to highlight some positives first in a post and then say what small change would have allowed me personally to gain so much more (mostly in creative fiction). I am no expert reviewer lol but some things jump out at me. We need to be encouraging and supporting new authors on Hive but also providing honest feedback too which will enable them to learn and grow until they can stand on their own two feet and fly the nest.
