About this post
Feedback is a necessary part of the writing process, but notes can also become overwhelming when an author loses sight of the story they want to tell. Jake uses his own long pause in a creative project to reflect on how suggestions and self-doubt can interrupt momentum.
The post is about approaching criticism thoughtfully: listening to useful observations, deciding which changes serve the work, and then returning to the page. It is especially relevant to writers navigating the difficult distance between an early draft and a completed project.
