keeping the lines of communication open
Their lives are still quite busy. Clark working at the Daily Planet, April attending her gallery during the day, both of them saving innocent lives while wearing masks. Before the busy lives had made communicating a problem, and they had their first major fight. But even with a busy life... April does find a solution. Writing letters.
A so when she can't find the time to talk to him, she will write a letter and leave it someplace he can find it easily.
Dear Clark
I had an art critic in the store today. And not one of those professional, who honestly critics your work and helps you improve. But one of those annoying 'I don't understand this and I am going to make everyone else hear my rant' critics.
My art is not for everyone. I do understand that. But it was so frustration because his objective was to try to change the opinions of those who were in the store at the same time. And so because of him... I lost two sales. These nice old ladies were considering a piece, had a price in mind, and he started to rant around them about how 'stupid' it was to buy 'this garbage'.
I could feel their hearts crash. They felt insulted because they liked my art. And there was nothing I could do to fix the situation. The critic being loud and obnoxious. And when he left, I felt such an air of relief, but sadness at the effect he had in the store.
How do you handle critics of your writing? Of your job? I felt a little confused and uncertain on how to fix the situation. How do you apologize for an opinion of another person?
I understand why he didn't like my art pieces, but I don't understand why he couldn't respect the fact that others did like the art. That their opinions should be respected. But there are more people out there who force their opinions on others...
I don't think I will be working on any art tonight. Will most likely head to my 'other job' to vent out some frustration. See you later. Love you.
