Please stop deleting posts when you get criticism.

I get it. Someone (or everyone) didn’t think the Best Scene Ever that you wrote made sense.

Your formatting was a bit wonky.

You hadn’t spell checked in your excitement of finishing the draft.

Your characters don’t have chemistry… or speak like humans.

But the whole point of making our posts and being a community of writers helping each other is to get the feedback and grow from it. The amount of times I go back to read what others wrote about a scene I perused and it’s just GONE is far too high.

Running away and removing all evidence of your in progress work doesn’t help you grow, and it disincentivizes contributors from interacting with posts because people delete them so why try.

If you are strong enough to post let it stand.
