The worst judge of our work is always ourselves. I don't know why that is, but I do know that this is a fact.
Too many times we make something, thinking it went out badly only to discover that is a great thing; or, on the contrary we thought that it would be a best-seller, only to discover that is only another big failure.
So, how can we know for sure if the writing is good enough to be published?
There are some tips to find out that.
Tips
- First of all, if the work has been published it means that has quality. Sites like Triond do not publish material without quality, so the real question is how good it is my writing. Is it better day by day? Am I improving myself?
- Second of all, in order to know how well a document (whatever it treats) will do, the best thing to do is our own poll, we can make our own statistics among our friends, asking them to read it and to tell us what they think sincerely, as more persons do the poll, more accurate is the result of it, and; of course, the decision has to be made in base at the majority's opinion.
- Try to see it as an observer, as if somebody else have made it; in order to do so, take your time, many times has happened to me that a work that did not like to me at the moment is now the one that likes me the most; or again on the contrary; something that looked a very nice work, now seems to be too poor and with very bad taste. So, watching our works detached of them, in an objective way can help us; not only to realize what changes our work needs, but also how much have we improved in our way to write.
- It is very hard to do a poll for some people, because his/her environment lacks of readers, or because these readers don't like the kind of stuff we do.
If you cannot make the poll, whatever the reasons, just publish anything you write and let your readers decide which one of your works is a great job and which one is only good. I repeat, don't worry about publishing bad things, if a work is bad it will not be published at all.
So, that is all I have to say about the subject, I hope it has the utility that you deserve to receive, my unconditional and sidereal hugs for all my readers.
