[quote=Anonymous]My mother says some of the exact same things you’re saying. She says she prefers brutal honesty. I used to tell her she can be honest without being brutal, then I realized she would never listen. People eventually stopped including her in their happy occasions because of her negativity. I don’t know if you’re like that or not. My experiences definitely colored my perception of your post. That said, I find it very difficult to believe you can’t find something positive to say in most of those situations. Even something like, “I’m glad that writing makes you happy. I can tell you really poured your heart into that story.” You don’t have to gush or heap on false praise. You can even say what your favorite part is. It doesn’t have to be amazing, but surely there was some plot element or a particular phrase that didn’t suck as badly as the others. [/quote]
