How I use critique

One of the hardest things a writer must do is accept constructive criticism. It's not fun, but it's one of the best ways to grow.
Our books are our babies. We nurture them in our minds, tentatively jot them down, polish and cosset them along until finally one day we present them to the world. And then, the world finds flaws in them. How dare they?
But, wait, maybe that one little thing would sound better that other way. And, that one bit might be a little confusing now that you mention it.
I usually take in what all my critiquers have to say, thank them profusely,then wait a few days. After a week or so, I sit down to edit. Anything that stuck in my mind as a problem, I repair.
I used to print out each critique and pore over it as I edited. Then, one day I noticed I was going in circles trying to please everyone else. That's when I adopted my "use what sticks" method. It works for me.
