This time we explore the topic of criticism, a necessary part of the writing process, but something which should be used as a strengthening device, rather than a soul crushing one. With the 'help' of our 'producer', we'll talk about how to receive criticism, the types of notes we might get, and even how to give critiques to writers. And overall we attempt to encourage you to show your work to others, which is nice, isn't it?

And we suggest how you could possibly find other aspiring writers you could maybe trade scripts with over on our Twitter, @writing_pod
