I shared the following via PM:

"Hey dana,

I'm replying to you privately because this includes information that I'm expressly prohibited from sharing publicly. I'm sending this to you because I think it accomplishes 3 things:

1) You seem intimidated by the process--maybe as a result of me listing my credentials--so I thought it might be best to undercut myself a bit by showing some opinions of some people saying I suck.

2) To show that many of the most helpful comments can be very basic things that people with no literary experience should be able to pick up on: your writing is unintelligible, your plot makes no sense, etc. Obviously just flinging poop isn't that helpful, but when I get specific examples and can see a consistent thread to what you're saying, then I can do some productive slashing and burning of the things that are making my manuscript bad.

3) It kind of indirectly answers another question you asked about in your post, but I'll be more vague about this point.

. . . {Input from a valuable opinion saying that my writing style is crap and my face is, indeed, hated.} . . .

I've since done a complete rewrite of the manuscript trying to fix many of the problems addressed in this feedback, but you don't need to triple guess your own opinion of what is and isn't working in this manuscript. Also, the above is far from the worst thing I've heard about my writing (some MFA classmates can be downright inappropriate to people lol), so nooooooooo need to be afraid of offending me. My motto is: Refer to the screenname :P

Best to you and a million thank yous for your help,
surviva"
