Lena Dunham:
How do you deal with criticism? I am an aspiring author and if my book is ever published, I don't know how I would deal with criticism.
Lena Dunham
You have to recognize that, even if you have shared a lot of yourself, the world still does not know you. You have a private sacred space within you that is just yours and that cannot be touched by anything but love. Writers are brave but they are also sensitive, so you will be hurt by certain things but you will keep writing because that is what you do!
