The Difference between Critique & Criticism
Criticism finds fault / Critique looks at structure
Criticism looks for what's lacking / Critique finds what's working
Criticism condemns what it doesn't understand / Critique asks for clarification
Criticism is spoken with a cruel wit and sarcastic tongue / Critique's voice is kind, honest, and objective
Criticism is negative / Critique is positive (even about what isn't working)
Criticism is vague and general / Critique is concrete and specific
Criticism has no sense of humor / Critique insists on laughter, too
Criticism looks for flaws in the writer as well as the writing / Critique addresses only what is on the page Writing
