Thought of the Day: Critiquing is Easy. Doing is Hard.

Anything can be critiqued. Criticizing something is easy. It makes the critiquer feel smart, and just a little bit superior to the writer.

But that kind of critique serves no real purpose, because that kind of critique is wrong from the moment the critiquer picks up the story or the manuscript or the 400-year-old play.

Readers read for enjoyment.

~ Perfection, Kristine Kathryn Rusch

If you dare to create, you are ipso facto greater than the one who only dares critique.
