It ain’t easy judging our own writing. Sometimes we’re our harshest critics, berating ourselves for not meeting irelevent or uninformed aspirations. Other times we’re way too soft on ourselves. Is it even possible to find a happy medium?

A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.
– Thomas MannDon’t write for other writers. People are drawn to writing for different reasons and many people do it to seem smart. If you have a good first act, most will never recognize it, because they’re not really clear on what a first act does. They know nothing of construction, but will turn their noses up at the idea of it anyway. The less they know about it the more they will object to it.
