I suppose every writer faces the dilemma of criticism. Sure, some suggestions are instantly convincing या exactly what आप thought you'd hear. But others create a quandary, like a double-edged sword. Should आप accept the criticism, make changes in your work या your style, या stick with your own judgment, the one आप started with? Either way, आप could be wrong, and it may take years before आप know the answer. In some cases, there may be highlights in an author's ambition level, या sense of destination, that make the decision particularly challenging.
For instance, in my own case, I wanted to write a प्यार story not only good enough to be published, but better than that. I was intent on producing a truly great प्यार story. To achieve that, I felt I needed to risk developing a लेखन style just right for the literary task, but one that would have to be different from what is currently in fashion. For this story to succeed, my style would need to give the readers a deeper look into what the main characters were feeling. That made the लेखन challenge doubly difficult in the path to getting published. The लेखन would have to be that much better such that it would still shine and impress when the editor noticed it as different--different but exactly right for this kind of story.
At one point in my लेखन journey, when I decided to send my manuscript to an independent editor, I knew that I had a number of improvement needs, including one to upgrade my लेखन mechanics. The problem was that my editor interpreted my style, the one I felt I needed to eventually write a great प्यार story, as simply poor लेखन that needed to be changed. And she was not the least bit delicate about her criticism. In fact, she viewed my style with scorn and demanded I change it if I ever hoped to be published. She is an editor of some renown, forceful and intimidating, and I mean to tell आप that I felt heavy pressure to conform to her will.
It was a painful decision to stick with the style I felt the story needed if it was ever to be good enough. My confidence in the decision was low enough to mark the nadir of my लेखन journey. And the echo of this experience persisted as a doubt that was hard to shake. Not until after publication, when consecutive readers told me they loved the story and couldn't put it down, did I feel complete vindication, like being released from jail.
In looking back, the hardest aspect was resisting the urge to accept the criticism as a और likely path to simply getting published on minimum terms. Nothing wrong with that, right? Yet the outcome in terms of reader experience would have been so much less. So when आप face that lonely decision about what criticisms to accept, it pays to be crystal clear about your true literary objectives, the destination that is driving आप onward. Will the decision position आप for a shot at the best आप can be? या will आप be left wondering ever after about the high road not taken?
