perfection or “good enough”
It’s neither.
I’m no mathematician, but I understand that a line can approach zero on a graph, but never reach it. Chasing perfection is a fool’s errand, but I also don’t settle for good enough.
Even 95% is a long way from perfection.
I rely on the trained inner voice that determines the story is complete and ready to provide a rewarding reader experience for the right audience.
