The Critic Rewritten - An overcoming author bullying writing exercise


Objective: Reframe a negative comment with power and humor.

Exercise:
Take a real (or imagined) hurtful remark someone might say about your writing — e.g., “No one reads books like that anymore.”
Now, rewrite the statement from the perspective of:

a clueless character in one of your stories

a bitter rival who’s secretly jealous

your future self laughing from your book launch party

Purpose: Helps you defuse emotional impact through humor and narrative control.
