My issue isn't the critiques - I want the critiques, the brutal truths, because I don't want to put out slop. Sometimes we all write slop, geniuses or not. It's just a part of the creative process, we throw out ideas and sentences and some are amazing, some suck. No, the issue with me is I'm paranoid.

I don't want people taking me shit. My ideas, my words, my stuff. Realistic or not, that's my hangup. Now, I realize we all poach inspiration from different sources, I do it wildly, but I take as inspiration, not thievery. I've witnessed downright thievery and it pisses me off to no end, so yes I'm hyper aware, maybe over sensitive. I don't scarper with people's shit, and I don't want my shit scarpered. That's my big concern in looking to form trusting relationships.
