A reader’s question:
“An agent passed on my manuscript but left me with feedback. What's next?”
• Embrace the critique?
• Ignore it because she didn’t take me on as a client?
How do you turn feedback into fuel for success?

For me, doing well academically resulted in positive attention at school, which I didn't get at home. This created a lifelong urge toward perfectionism and overwork. I'm better at balancing work into my life, but it's still a struggle. #ptsd #trauma #recoveryposse

In George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion,", Elisa Doolittle leaves Henry Higgins at the end of the play - with dignity and confidence.
In the musical, "My Fair Lady," she comes. The final words of the playe are: "Elisa, where are my slippers?"
Shaw's version is the happier. I prefer it.
