How many writers do you know? I ask because the writers I know tend to ask for corrections without actually wanting them. What they want is for people to read what they've written, but simply telling people to "make yourself useful and read my shit" (as one of my writer acquaintances put it while drunk) simply isn't done.

They don't actually want corrections. Corrections would imply (to them) that they haven't in fact written heartbreaking works of staggering genius, but have instead failed to sufficiently polish their turds.
