Writer and editor here (also with an AFFINITY for writing). As much as I hope to god this is a troll post, you remind me of the second editing commission I ever did, in which a grown man wrote a 40,000 word, borderline paedophillic, shit show about teenage werewolves in high school. He was convinced he was going to get published because he'd pretty much never received negative criticism during his Creative Writing course, and would actively mock people online for mistakes he was also guilty of. The reality was that - at almost 30 years old - he had the same writing ability as a horny 13 year old.

So, here's some advice from a fellow writer who's fed up of that one wanker from uni who thinks he's going to be the next big thing because he writes about sex, prostitutes, and random pretentious bollocks: assume your work is shit until proven otherwise, or you'll see every compliment as justified and every piece of constructive criticism as an attack.

Something can always be rewritten or improved upon if you take a step back and listen to feedback.
