The ideal reader can be an elusive creature, but it’s definitely worth trying to identify them so you can speak to them directly and tell your story or express your intended message in a way that they will engage with and appreciate.

It’s tempting to think that someone else will organise the get-togethers, workshops, writers’ group meet-ups etc, and all we need to do is turn up.

Then we complain about the timing, the focus, the format, and how it doesn’t really work for us…

There is a solution, of course!

Everyone has an opinion. Not all opinions are equal.

Don't just assume the first feedback you get on your writing – whether it's criticism or a rave review – is an ultimate Truth.

Consider the source of all comments, the experience and the agenda of whoever they come from.
