You don't only learn from losing, you learn from winning as well.

Huh? I got mad because I noticed submissions weren't coming in, which I found worrisome. I don't like entering something while no one else shows signs of activity. You naturally associated being mad with someone who just wants prestige and glory to themselves. I don't really expect to win this. I entered because the format that was suggested was one I was familiar and confortable with. And besides, what's the interest in winning a competition where the best (and only ) thing you receive are constructive comments from reviewers?

So, if you think you're angry that you spent some time writing this composition hoping you'll win in this competition and you won't because the other people haven't submitted their pieces, then imagine how finding out that you are not interested in reviews will make me feel after writing that lengthy review of your piece.

Now you're just putting words in my mouth. From your assumption I'm not interested in learning, you're assuming I'm not interested in reviews. Reviews are all you get in these competitions, I'm not trying to get anything else.

That was, I admit, my mistake; I thought the submissions deadline was much shorter than it is, for some reason.

No. It's far from it.

You can be as strict as you find reasonable. But the way you're phrasing it, you sound like you'll do it out of spite.

My teacher calls me a lazy idiot almost every single class and yet he adores me. 'Social skills in the artistic world' means a lot.
