\"oyan-blog-vibes-pinterest\"<\/a>By Linnea Hagler, Guest Contributor<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will never say I hate a book (ever). Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

As aspiring authors, \u201cconstructive criticism\u201d is something that we get a lot of. We get it from parents and mentors, peers, and anyone else who\u2019s ever heard you say \u201cI want to write books for a living\u201d or held a piece of your work in their hands. We get this \u201cconstructive\u201d brand of judgement under a lot of pretenses<\/strong>: we need outside sources to help us find flaws in our work that we can fix (true); we need a dose of reality (false); it\u2019s good to evaluate your work for flaws (true); your book isn\u2019t good until it\u2019s perfect (false false false); your book is already good and doesn\u2019t need help (also false), and\u2026you get the idea.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s take a poll. Raise your hand if you\u2019ve ever gotten \u201cconstructive criticism\u201d that really didn\u2019t construct anything. And now raise your hand if you\u2019ve ever read a book you didn\u2019t like, and told a bunch of people about how much you didn\u2019t like it. Sweet, looks like everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alright. So what\u2019s the point of this post anyways?<\/p>\n

Well, say what you will about needing the ability to be critical about things in this day and age, but it will surprise no one if I say that unnecessary negativity is rampant in a lot of circles<\/strong>. Chief among them: literature. And chief among literary circles: young people in literature. If you were to ask the greater majority of the \u201cfrequent reader\u201d population, they would probably be able to tell you their least<\/em> favorite book before their favorite<\/em>. If you brought up a book that a lot of people seem to dislike, they would probably be able to hate on it for longer than they\u2019d be able to talk about a book that they read recently and liked pretty well.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t really care why we do this. The why<\/em> is because we\u2019re negative creatures by nature, and we like it when people agree with us on disagreeable matters. But when it comes to literature, to writing, to books<\/em>\u2014it\u2019s downright toxic<\/strong>. Anyone who remembers the beginnings of Twilight<\/em>\u2019s fame remembers this monumentally fun thing that started to happen: book bashing.<\/p>\n

Posts upon posts became popular for doing absolutely nothing besides tearing down what the writer didn\u2019t like about something, because that was their opinion and they were entitled to it, and if you didn\u2019t agree then why were you still there? Book bashing was the thing to do in the Young Adult community for a long time not because it made us feel better about our favorites, but because it was so easy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the reason I\u2019m talking to you: criticism is easy<\/strong>. It is so monumentally easy to hate things. It is so, so simple to read a book (or someone\u2019s work) and to see everything that it isn\u2019t<\/em> instead of everything that it already is<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the catch: I\u2019m not talking about seeing what it could<\/em> be. I\u2019m talking about what it is<\/em>.<\/strong> The exact incarnation that this thing is given to you as\u2014be it published, self-published, or first-drafted. It is the easiest thing in the world to be handed something, to read it, and to think of all of the \u201cpotential\u201d that it has if the author would just do these couple<\/em> of things\u2026<\/p>\n

No.<\/p>\n

No. Because that\u2019s not constructive criticism. Constructive criticism builds<\/em>,<\/strong> and to build something you have to have a foundation, right? The foundation is what you just read, and your critiques and ideas about it need to build it up from there. Not with flowery compliments or thoughts that aren\u2019t genuine.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t about exclusively saying nice things. This isn\u2019t about giving compliments that are not genuine. And it\u2019s not even in refraining from expressing dislike. This is a different way of thinking<\/strong> about literature of any brand.<\/p>\n

This kind of \u201cmental shift\u201d lies in things like deciding not to say \u201cI don\u2019t normally read this kind of thing, but\u2026\u201d, because what good does that do the person you\u2019re critiquing? Nothing, really. It\u2019s in deciding not to write a blog post about all of the reasons that you didn\u2019t like That Book You Just Read, just because you didn\u2019t like it. It\u2019s in not saying that an author is terrible because they didn\u2019t write something that you liked, and here\u2019s why: what they wrote, somebody<\/em> liked, and if it wasn\u2019t you, you\u2019re not who they were writing for<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be invariably sunny about everything all the time in order to keep your view of it positive. There are flaws in every<\/em> book you\u2019ll ever read, and every book you\u2019ll ever write as well, and it\u2019s good to see them. But the way I look at it is this: I know exactly how difficult it is to write a book. And I know how much more difficult it is to write a \u201cgood\u201d one. So if someone else went through half the trouble I did to write and distribute their work, it does not deserve my hatred. That feeling does me no good, as I can\u2019t use it, and it does the author of the thing no good, as they can\u2019t build off of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It comes down to this: we live in a world where books exist<\/em>, and a world where we can all write about whatever the heck we want to. That\u2019s a privilege. Reading other people\u2019s writing is a privilege.<\/strong> So while it\u2019s good to have the ability to see the negative in things? There really isn\u2019t ever a good enough reason to focus on it. And if your negative view won\u2019t build something positive, then it doesn\u2019t really need to be given.<\/p>\n

Writing is hard, you guys, and we beat ourselves up about it enough. We work in a high risk\/low reward art. There\u2019s that saying to consider: you are your own harshest critic. So if you\u2019re already hanging yourself out to dry, don\u2019t you think everyone else is too? Writing is something you\u2019ll never do well if you don\u2019t enjoy it at least a little<\/strong>, and it is very, very<\/em> difficult to enjoy doing something when you get yelled at for it all the time.<\/p>\n

I believe that as much as there is an art to writing, there is an art to appreciating<\/em> writing<\/strong>, and this is something that we as a community can never value enough. This is something that is undervalued and largely not even considered.<\/p>\n

This is what I build on: good vibes only. The next time you find yourself falling into those habitually negative thought patterns, stop and think about them, and think about what they\u2019re doing<\/em>. Because in the end, it comes down to this: I love books<\/strong><\/em>. That\u2019s the reason I\u2019m doing this whole writing thing in the first place. And that endeavor, even more than anything else, deserves our positivity. Because we\u2019re all in this together, and it\u2019s a whole lot easier when we embrace that.<\/p>\n
