Summary

This quote suggests that writers often have difficulty objectively evaluating their own work. They can be overly critical, so they may underestimate their abilities or not recognize the quality of their writing. Additionally, personal biases and emotions can cloud their judgment, making it harder for them to see the flaws or strengths in their work. As a result, they may require external feedback or time to gain a more accurate perspective on the value of what they have written.
