A critical eye...
I have just received my latest ms back from my editor with some suggestions for improvement.
Of course it's a bummer when she doesn't fall at my feet and praise my work unreservedly- but is that what I really want?
I don't think so (said in that annoying way that only teenagers can master properly)
A fresh eye looks at your work objectively, and I urge those of you yet without ed's, or critique partners to get one immediately. Make it someone whose judgement you trust; someone with no particular axe to grind, someone who wants to draw the very best out of you.
Then you will find, as I do, that far from being stale, your work become truly exciting all over again.
Open your mind, and let it fly...
Love to you all
Susan
