Lately I've been thinking a lot about how to improve my writing. Do you think that praise helps as much as detraction when it comes to critique? People have to know what they're good at so they can do more of the same. What kind of feedback to you prefer to receive?

I think it depends on personality on what style of critique works best. Praise works best with me. I tend to have a dog like personality. Praise me on what I do right, I'll meet you halfway on whatever it is I'm working on. Praise me on what I've improved upon I'll try that much harder the next time. Encourage me along the way and I stop seeing limits. That's just me though.  |

Nah, I think it works that way for me too. I mean, some critique is good. But praise is...empowering. As long, of course, as it's sincere.
(Haha, I guess it's a good thing to be described as doglike?)

Praise primarily, with critique sprinkled around it. I get discouraged if someone is overly negitive about my work, especially at early stages. I've always been more of a "jump in and do it" kind of person, but I find myself expecting awesomeness instantly...and when that doesn't happen, I usually abandon said project. Piano lately, for example, is not exactly my favorite thing, since I'm rusty and it takes me hours to learn how to play a song. However, Rock Band... Like you said Cy, praise empowers. It's like riding the high horse...it just feels good! it makes you want more...and that means more practice which means better products later on  |
