the word the writer fears

This is a thought I had for a while, but never really expressed it as well as H.G. Wells, the famous British writer. He once said that "No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft". Think about it - when someone asks your opinion on a piece they wrote, what is your first move? Of course, finding something wrong with it!!! It sure happens to me, although I sometimes try to take an objective view on things and accept there's more than just one way of writing - or thinking, for that matter!

All in all, the author of "The Time Machine" and "The War of the Worlds" discovered for us a true human insight, and surely a funny way of seeing an otherwise annoying aspect of your work as a writer.
