Getting reviews

I've had a few reviews from youwriteon.com.  Some of them are quite critical, but as a writer I know I have to accept criticism and maybe use it to improve my writing.  It's not easy though because I feel like my story is my baby and in a way I don't want people criticising it.  Over the years I guess I haven't really had that many people look at my writing apart from close friends and family.  It is good to have more and more people read and comment on my work though, because ultimately I need the feedback to be able to improve and develop as a writer.  So please keep your comments (and criticisms!) coming.
