About this Quote

This quote by Donna Tartt talks to the difficulty of permitting others to view one's work while it is still in progress. Composing is an extremely individual procedure, and it can be challenging to open oneself as much as criticism while still in the middle of developing. It is simple to end up being overwhelmed by the viewpoints of others, and this can result in a loss of confidence in one's own work. Tartt is recommending that it is best to wait up until the work is completed before enabling others to view it, as this will help to protect the stability of the work and guarantee that it is not affected by outside viewpoints. This is a sensible reminder to all writers that it is very important to rely on one's own creative procedure and to be mindful of the potential impact of others' remarks.
