I loved this reminder from "You Can't Win Them All," I wish someone had told me this when I was writing to please bosses and editors.
"How liberating to accept that a project’s success ultimately isn’t up to us — only its quality. You can pour your heart into it. You can give it your time and attention. You can leave it all on the page. But how the world (or audience or boss or family) reacts is very much not up to you."
