That’s the question all of us writers ask, not just my clients. In fact, I brought this post back because I’ve fielded this question twice this week, and it’s only Monday.

And there’s a short and sweet answer–when you’ve done everything you can do, everything you can think of to improve the piece.

And there’s a longer answer, which is what this video is all about.

If you know yourself to be a get er’ done sort of person, listen up. If you’re a perfectionist who can drag the process out for eons in the interest of hiding in the shadows, this is for you too.

(BTW, I would so retitle this video to How do you know… but that’s what happens when you’re working fast to get something out the door. A word to the wise.)
