does anybody else feel that strange mixture of emotions when someone reads their writing and comments negatively? i get a mixture of these:

1. 'hmm, interesting. i take your point on board and will try harder in the future to be more [insert word]'
2. hmm, interesting. i take your point on board and will never ask you again for you are a [insert word]'

ultimatley leading me to ask, 'should i change what i have written in order to please/appease/be marketable, or should i stick to my guns and believe that i am shakespeare mk.2?'

any thoughts on this dilema?

I think, that if someone who critiques you brings up a valid point which you hadn't taken into consideration and which you agree with, you should change it. Otherwise, no, unless the only reason you're doing it is to make money, and therefore you would want it to be marketable.
