Re: novels. After you complete a first draft, do you put it aside for a while before you begin to edit it? Or do you start right away?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I put it aside for a while, usually a few months.

How good are you at handling negative criticism about your work? Would you say it bothers you too much or just the right amount?

Shell B is her biggest critic, at least in my experience.
Sounds like me.
