KD's Tip:

I try to be as relaxed about feedback as I can. It's not because I'm relaxed as a person since I am not, but because along the editorial process, the people who take the time to offer feedback want your writing to succeed. There is, understandably, the perception that when your name is on the front of the book, the words and vision contained therein should be your own. You might get advice or input that doesn't align with that vision, and you should trust your own voice if every cell within you goes, nope, not a chance.  

Before I decide to accept or reject editorial advice, I try to do an exercise called "What if they were right?" Either mentally or in writing, I sketch out what would change in my book if that advice was the correct advice for the book. Sometimes it isn't. Sometimes the thing in my gut that says, nah, is correct. But a lot of the time—most of the time—I end up changing the book for the better, perhaps not with the solution proposed, but to solve something identified as needing further development or clarification.
