I do reread what I post, yet I never seem to pick up big-ish things, like everyone else does, only smaller bits like grammar and slight sentence rewording. It's only ages afterwards, after some reflection on what I've written, that I start to think about the bigger problems within the story. By that time, when I've resolved to go back and check up on what I've posted to see if is actually good, everyone's discovered what I've done and I get sidetracked from actually going to have a little looksy because I have to explain why I did something wrong.

Don't get me wrong; I love feedback and I do need it, we all do, but I feel as if my stories get a bit too much scrutiny. Whether it's because I'm a bureaucrat, I've advertised it too much, or I'm just overreacting I don't know. I'm saying this because both of you said yourselves that you want me to be honest here. While I don't dislike feedback, sometimes I feel your comments can be a little unnecessary, like your one KV. I'm aware that I can't transition well, and DD had actually already pointed that out (just not in so many words), so I don't see the need for your comment there. I would prefer if you added some other form of constructive critiscism as opposed to just paraphrasing what DD has said (don't take any of this personally; I've nothing against either of you)

This sort of stuff can put me off writing because, even if it's not intentional, I get the feeling that regardless of what I post, it'll be shot down immediately.
