I have two answers for this question 1) fiction is an art. Treat it as such. Learn the elements that go into "showing" a great story; and 2) never ever let anyone steal your dream--including you. Learn to accept criticism, to value criticism, but also study the art so well that you will know when to discard bad advice.
