#WritersWisdom -Rule 92- Get Distance From Your Work

Writer’s Wisdom -Rule #92- Get Distance From Your Work. “Often in the throes of creation, you might write something so fabulous it blinds you to how bad it really is. Maybe it has to do with the weird hours writer keep. Whatever it is, you must remember that no one but you gets an immediate reading. You must put your work away when you’re done, and let it sit. At least a week. Start another project in the meantime so your brain can shift away from the rhythms of the old text. Then come back to it with icy objectivity.”
