How do I handle negative feedback?

Negative feedback can be painful. Especially when you have invested heart and soul into your work.

As a writer, that feedback can still be useful. Strongly negative feedback can tell one or more of three things.

Your story was not right for your reader
Your reader is a touch tactless
The areas the reader did not like might want work
