Lest you begin to think that your Internal Editor is always bad, a big meanie whose only function is to make you feel inadequate, here's Hemingway's reminder as to its proper -- and critically important -- role:
The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof shit detector. This is the writer’s radar and all great writers have had it. ~Ernest Hemingway, interview in Paris Review, Spring 1958
