Great article! It’s such good advice, too.
I think most people have a vague idea that it’s important to be honest with yourself when you’re writing, and to remember not to gloss over any weak sections, but it’s always helpful to be reminded and re-reminded. :)
Thanks. Looking at the article now, I feel like I was rambling a bit, but I thought it was important to note the need for a writer to trust himself or herself.
The opposite is also true when drafting — trust yourself to tell a good story, and quit stopping to fix stuff! (I’m in this boat lately.) Fixing is for later drafts.
