I know what you mean, but I'm being Devils Advocate (sp?) here ... why would you go to see a movie of a book which you have already read??

Don't get me started on Eragon.>_>ZeldaMaster32

EVERY SINGLE BOOK-MOVIE I GO TO IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE BOOK! IT NEVER FOLLOWS THE BOOK! THE ENDING IS USUALLY HORRIBLE!

...................... will they make a book-movie that will satisfy me? :?

1) Depending on the level of "criticism" you shouldn't take it personal. It really helps because it can make your writing better. Don't pull away. Listen.

2) On the other hand, if you're the one giving "criticism" don't turn it into a heap of negative ranting. That would hurt the writer's feelings, and think his work is nothing but trash. When your "criticizing" please also say positive things about the writer's work.

3) Even if it's strong, you shouldn't let writer's block get to you. A strong writer NEVER gives up on his writing. In fact, I love all writer's work. As long as they try.

4) NEVER leave a blog, post, comment, etc. without a spell check. It can really be embarrassing.

5) We writer's all have something in common. A great talent. Don't ever, not for a second, waste it.

:D Have fun writing!
