Common Themes

  • List common feedback from readers.

  • What comments do you get the most?

  • Remember, negative feedback isn't against you personally and doesn't mean you're a bad writer. It means you are growing as a writer and every comment helps you improve.

Positive Feedback

  • Keep track of what people like about your story

  • These are your strong suits and are good to keep track of what your audience likes.

  • They also help you keep going on days when you feel down.

  • Plus, they are great for marketing and "what people are saying" blurbs.

Areas for Improvement

  • List of specific things you need to improve upon.

  • Such as using the same word too many times.

  • Or not adequately describing the scene.

  • Or dialog that feels more like exposition than a realistic conversation.
