3. Ask for corroboration


3. Ask for corroboration from a TRUSTED critique partner. If you’re really having difficulty seeing your own writing clearly, ask a trusted reader for help. Ask specific, pointed questions: “Does the ending feel lackluster to you? Is my main character too passive? What makes you say that?”
If your reader hints at or alludes to the same elements that you’re questioning, then it may be time to revise. But keep in mind that all readers bring their own perspectives to their critique, and ultimately you might not agree.
