The client is really good at encouraging and offering constructive criticism, which eases the sting. But it still felt a little bad to have something I’d done get one of the, “While it’s good to…., it would be better to….” and one “I like this point, but its a bit unclear as to where it’s going” type comment.

The thing is that over all they liked my efforts, and it will take a little practice to fully understand their needs.

I get to learn about all the things I’m not. Every piece is an expansion, and I hope that every piece is more interesting and better crafted than the last. So I often reach for topics where I don’t have a lot of experience in the field. Because I know how to find solid sources and learn. I always worry that I’m not “enough” in a situation like that. However, when an editor looks at the actual work, at the quality of the writing and not just at an online algorhythmic of a resume — I’ll usually get the job. Sometimes I get it BECAUSE I bring in an outside perspective. I’m not the most brilliant writer, but in most situations, I can outwork just about anyone.
