Oh what new company is this?
It's a little bit angsty. Kind of repressed emotion type of stuff. I do write a lot, I have folders of things on my laptop. I love spending time in cafes writing stories. And no, you may not, I'm very embarrassed about the whole thing, but I just do it for my own enjoyment blush
We make software for the readymix concrete industry. In particular a platform where concrete producers can get rent concrete transporters. I started working on that platform about one and a half years ago. And about 5 months ago a potential competitor, that was at a similar stage, approached us to make a company together. And now, 5 months later, we finally started it. Had to be in Hamburg for that yesterday. But it has been a stressful 5 months, so I'm glad we finished that first milestone.
Aww, okay, if you ever change your mind though, I'd love to read it. It's good to have an outlet. I've been trying to write, but I'm very undisciplined, I mostly just plan things in my mind, and never actually get to the putting it on paper stage. But I'll try to be better, I have this new idea for a story I've been fleshing out, and hopefully, if I have time and discipline, I'll start writing that soon.
That's fantastic babe, congrats huh, huge accomplishment already!
Yeah I'm the same, tons of ideas, but I lack discipline and sometimes I let the stories get too involved and then the idea of finishing them feels like a dreadful amount of work, so I don't. I would love to be a writer, but I have trouble taking criticism and I don't think I could stick to tight deadlines.
Thank you. It's been a pretty big weight lifted off my shoulder, I was anxious about the deal falling through.
Oh yeah, me too. I'd love to write semi-professionally at least, but when I do start writing I almost always start hating what I did write at the very latest a day later. And it just doesn't flow the way I want. I suppose more practice would help. And same about criticism, it hurts my feelings and also what has the critic ever done anyways except for being stupid and ugly?

I feel like almost everyone at some point in their life thinks about writing? But just because you want to do something, doesn't mean the world would be a better place for it 😛

Basically speaking, you would rather waste your potential instead of making small, reformative changes to your personality. Gotchya.
Do you consider it's not something that's small to her? Some things can be easy or difficult, depending on the individual.
Have a shred of sympathy.

I'm just rolling my eyes at his unsolicited advice. Not entirely sure what kind of changes one needs to make to get better at taking criticism.
Well, in my opinion, in order to take solid/constructive criticism, you'd probably want to broaden your tolerance for specific type of conversation or analysis. Criticism is an important type of reception because it can definitely strengthen what you do and may alert you to weaknesses that you yourself could not identify previously.
This is just general advice, though. I'm not saying this will be effective for you personally.
It's a bit of a more understandable approach than, "You're potential is shit because these puny changes won't be made! Lol!"

I suppose I can take criticism, I just don't actively seek it out.

Nicki Minaj also says "Bitches ain't shit and they ain't saying nothing, a hundred mother****ers can't tell me nothing", words I live by.
Of course you do. Germans are weird.
