Q: Would you consider yourself someone who likes to take risks?

February 28, 2015 By Keira Gillett

A: I think putting your work out for the public is always risky. I’ve been on both sides of the creative process. At university in my studio classes, students and professors would critique my art. I did the same. As an avid reader and book blogger I’ve reviewed other authors informally. Part of every review is subjective and the rest is good to evaluate and use to improve your future work. I think the scary part for any creative endeavor is waiting for those critiques and reviews to come in. What if your story is loved? Can you live up to expectations? What if it’s loathed? Can you withstand the criticism? But I think the risk is worth it, especially if you like the story (and hopefully you do because you wrote it!)
