Judging

 I am not sure where I have read that I cannot be the right judge of my written works.  The feedback has to come from outside.  That argument was replete with interesting examples.

For example, Picasso was known to produce many sketches or drawings before settling on a final piece.  One would think that progress would be linear as he went through many iterations.  But no.   Often, his earlier  iterations influenced his final product.

Experimentation, it turns out, is better than planning.  Executing a nascent plan, it seems, is better than waiting for better things to come.

Although we may use our judgements to refine our work, having the courage to push out a piece of any type of work is more critical.  A bias for action is more important than finesse.
