A cover artist
went on a rant
recently
talking about
how writers ‘attacked’ her
over a recent cover she created.
The comments I saw
were critiques.
They weren’t attacks.
No one likes criticism.
But a cover artist
or any other partner
who can’t deal with it
is someone I don’t want
to work with.
Because what she’s saying
is…
it is my way
or no way.
That’s not a partnership.
That’s a dictatorship.
The writer
wouldn’t be an equal partner
in that relationship.
They would have no say
in any decisions.
Don’t work with people
who can’t take criticism.
