Show Notes:
Writer's group, editor, beta readers, reviews
It will only increase, so learning how to receive it gracefully.
Consider the source of feedback.
Look for patterns when receiving feedback en masse.
Don't engage with reviewers.
You don't have to take all the suggestions your editor gives you, especially during line edits.
