I think that was my biggest problem until recently ;-) I wasn't confident enough in my writing and sometimes I changed things just because other people said I should - and I didn't always like the changes. But I thought nobody would like the story if I didn't change it.

Now - well, after the issues with Covenant - I've learned to keep my *intent* in mind with all suggestions. If they fit in with that intent, I'll probably go with it. If not, then I can't. I just figure *somebody* will read it, and *somebody* will enjoy it and that's enough. And I think that's working - at least, so far. ;-)
