eating my feelings

I know it's easier to comprehend it on a logical level than to believe it, so if you're one of those people who think their work needs to be perfect or it isn't worth sharing, do this exercise.

Think of the books you like. Now, ask yourself this question: are they perfect?

Were there any grammar, spelling errors? Any plot holes? Was there too much of something? Was there anything you wish they expanded upon; anything that left you wanting more? Were there any moments you thought 'well, that's not exactly how that'd go in the real world'? Any awkward dialogue? Have characters done anything that didn't entirely feel in character? Any other issues and imperfections? Small parts you didn't like?

Analyze it, make a good damned list of everything you liked and you disliked. I bet you'll find something imperfect in every, or almost every, book.

And yet you still enjoyed it.

Readers are willing to overlook a lot, if the story is interesting enough.
