Depending on whether I felt the feedback was truly a step in the right direction, yes and no. While I rely on feedback to grow as a writer, there have been times when the feedback was not intended to be helpful and it was a reader's personal opinion of how they wanted the story to be/end. Their comment was the only one among the others that didn't offer constructive feedback.
I take feedback with a grain of salt, but I do aim to learn and grow in my writing. If the feedback does bring something to my writing, I take it into consideration. Sometimes, it is folded into the story and sometimes not.
As for tips: Don't be afraid to further grow as a writer. The moment you think you've learned it all, you're wrong. The depths of the writing craft are never-ending and there is always something new to learn that will help you become better.
