“Refusing to listen to someone’s opinion doesn’t accomplish anything. You may not agree entirely with their suggestions, but every comment they make is (most likely) an honest one, and will resonate with at least a portion of the general population. To quote James D. Macdonald (writer and instructor for the Viable Paradise writer’s workshop): “If someone tells you something is wrong with your work, they’re almost certainly right. If they tell you how to fix it, they’re almost certainly wrong.”
