CW: toxic relationships, mentions of addiction/drug use, mental illness, childhood trauma, some mentions of internalized homophobia Critiquing other peoples work can be hard when youre first developing your editorial eye, but do you know what can be even harder? Fairly critiquing your OWN work. As a writer on authortube, its so important to me that people who find my channel feel like they CAN like their writing.
