As much as we desire the truth about our writing it can be painful to hear the truth about our work. Of course, it can help us grow and become better, it how we learn and develop our craft. It’s a necessary part of the experience. If I’m being honest, I feel as though I’ve passed a benchmark in my journey, because I’ve dreamed of working with an editor, I just hadn’t expected such clarity from a brief one-to-one at a book fair.
Here’s a fun infographic poking fun at a writers experience of receiving critical feedback from an editor and the emotional process they go through. I hope you enjoy.
What have your experiences with editors been like? Good or bad, let me know if it helped you grow as a writer, you know I love hearing from you.
Thanks for stopping by, until next time, Much Love.

Love it, Rainy! I’ve definitely visited those stages, and stayed way too long in the chocolate and bad Netflix one 😅. It’s never fun to get feedback that points out the flaws in your work, but that really is the feedback that challenges you to improve.
