I have over 60 releases.
I’ve worked as a book reviewer.
I judge contests
and critique other people’s writing,
yet I can’t judge for myself
whether or not a story work.
As Aprille Janes
shares
in her most recent newsletter
“You can’t be objective
about your own stuff.
I’m a certified coach
but I have my own coach
for that reason.
You may get off the ground
under your own power
but if you want to break into orbit,
you are going to need help.”
I have editors who judge
my work objectively.
I trust these editors.
They have experience
crafting selling stories.
They know what readers want.
If you want an objective opinion,
ask someone other than yourself.
