Anyone have protips for getting productive feedback on an essay? Problem: I write about a topic I'm passionate about, send a draft to friends, they get riled and the feedback results in nearly a full rewrite x3 the original length to address all the arguments, at which point I'm burned out and don't want to publish.

i still have this problem from time to time! some things ive done differently: 1. @twinfin and i have a weekly writing date where we meet, read what we wrote that week, and give feedback to each other. at the beginning our feedback was vague. we went back, researched, and now our feedback game has gotten better

2. when i receive feedback i separate them as long and short run feedback. i rewrite my piece with those short run feedback but when it comes to the long run feedback i try to apply them for my next piece of work

3. ive switched my process where i edit myself (a couple days inbetween), publish, then ask for feedback from my friends. it's not a sin to go back and improve what has already been published and i keep it moving

I like the dichotomy of short run and long run feedback, thanks for sharing! Sounds like you have a healthy and thoughtful process.
