Dear Ph.D. adviser: I just finished editing my paper based on the comments from our two colleagues. Reading what they wrote felt like walking through hell (though I don't believe that hell or heaven exists). Yes, it felt that bad. It took me 2 days to get over that horrible feeling before I could focus on editing the paper. Then I asked myself why their comments made me feel so bad. Does my writing suck that much? No. I know I have room to improve, but I have received positive responses from other colleagues about my manuscripts in the past....
