i don't know wheather to call this pride, or not; but when i ever do ask for help on my writing [mainly my poems] i sift through the ideas i'm given and fix what is pointed out if i desire to fix it. sometimes i'll keep the idea i was given in the back of my mind for future reference while writing another poem, but that's it.
perhaps it's my style i like, perhaps it's my form i type them in, i don't know. what i do know is there are somethings i just can't allow myself to change when i follow a critique on a poem of mine. if i have a distinct way i have my poems that makes them stick out in peoples' minds, then i'm sticking with it. i want people to remember them, i couldn't careless if they all know what they're about exactly. i mean honestly, 50 % of the time, when i go back to a really old poem, the only way i know who it's about is by the date i purposely try to remember to put at the top of them. sometimes i even confuse myself by just reading a poem of mine, but it's ok. i like when people have to know me and piece everything together to figure out my poems.

that's all critique is for. i mean, i don't take every single piece of advice and immediately apply it to my writing. i simply keep it in mind.
