Writing Coach Podcast 236: Judge me

WCP236 Judge me

As a species, we’re pretty judgey. As working writers, we’re constantly having our work judged.  Sometimes it can feel like how someone feels about our writing is how they feel about us. When we add our own judgement of somebody else’s judgement, things get sticky.

As a species, we’re pretty judgey. As working writers, we’re constantly having our work judged. 

Sometimes it can feel like how someone feels about our writing is how they feel about us.

When we add our own judgement of somebody else’s judgement, things get sticky.

Fear of judgement (by an editor, a friend, an anonymous reader who leaves a comment, or even ourselves) can be a major blocker.  

This episode is a bit shorter than normal to give you some time to write into a prompt in your freelance journal.
