Abstract

prove your story, nothing to improve your style.Where are the groups that have real people willing to give you honest feedback? What did you like about my story? What didn’t you like? What could be better? What shocked you, impressed you, moved your heart? Where are the flaws in my writing? Did I mess up with spelling or grammar? Is it good enough to become a novel? Why? Why not?Hopefully, I’m not alone in this. Writing should be a craft, something improved over time, like fine wine and aged whiskey. Not some cheap gas station boxed wine.We will see with time… these Facebook groups might not be the right way to promote my writing and get feedback.

The follow-for-follow and clap-for-clap mill

Like many of us Medium newbies, I often go to Facebook Medium groups to post my work — in search of feedback.

But I don’t want you to follow unless you like my writing. And I don’t want your claps unless you like my story/post.

These medium groups, even the ones that claim to be for genuine writers, have become nothing but mills for followers and claps. But that does nothing to improve your skill, nothing to improve your story, nothing to improve your style.

Where are the groups that have real people willing to give you honest feedback? What did you like about my story? What didn’t you like? What could be better? What shocked you, impressed you, moved your heart? Where are the flaws in my writing? Did I mess up with spelling or grammar? Is it good enough to become a novel? Why? Why not?

Hopefully, I’m not alone in this. Writing should be a craft, something improved over time, like fine wine and aged whiskey. Not some cheap gas station boxed wine.
