I get way too close to what I've written to be remotely objective, and I vacillate between thinking it's pretty darned good, superior in quality to a lot of what's successfully published, and wondering who the hell I am fooling thinking I can write my way out of a wet paper sack.<br /><br />Given that this is true, it is altogether too easy to tweak endlessly, especially once you get some rejections under your belt and are scared to send it to the rest of your agent or market list without fixing whatever it is the form rejections are not telling you is wrong with it.E.L.
