I posted my song on another forum and got a big bunch of critiques. On to the next hard part--sifting through a lot of undeserved praise and a lot of what I consider really silly ideas on how to fix the song, to end up with 2 ideas that I think would actually make the song a little better. I find it hard to take in all these different comments and decide which to ignore. If I followed all the advice, I would end up with the stinkiest song imaginable! I am not complaining because people are giving me advice with nothing but a "thank you" in return! I'm actually really grateful to find out how the song comes across and what problems people have with it. On the other hand, I'm starting to get the impression that improving my songwriting is partly about continuing to discover my own "voice" and trust my own judgement.
