Experienced writers are confident enough to seek feedback on their latest drafts. They might go to an established author, a first-rate editor, an accomplished storyteller, or even an avid reader of their genre to get an idea of whether they are hitting the right notes.

It takes self-aware writers to know that they may see their story in an entirely different way from their potential readers. They need a reality check, no matter how well they think they can turn a phrase or spin a yarn. Too bad more presidents, CEOs, school principals, and teachers don;t think like that.
