A writing buddy
asked me
and four of her other friends
to comment on a cover.
I suggested tweaking
the title font a little bit.
The other four friends
told her it was fabulous,
they loved it,
it was gorgeous.
My writer friend
decide that
since only one person
out of five
had an issue
with the font,
she’d leave it.
Then it released
and readers had problems
reading the title
on the cover.
It is really easy
for friends to give you
positive feedback.
Everyone likes happy news.
They aren’t risking their friendship
if they tell you everything is amazing.
It is extremely difficult
for most friends to give you
negative feedback.
They’re risking their friendship
because they want you to do well.
Give negative feedback
from friends
more weight.
