Good fortune
A draft still has room to change. Ask someone to look at one section and give feedback on the part you are unsure about; a focused question leads to a revision you can actually make.

STORY & REFLECTION
The Bull Who Would Not Hear Advice
The Bull and the Calf · Aesop's fable
In the fable, a bull is stuck at a narrow entrance. A calf offers to guide him, but the bull says he knows the way better because he is older.
The story stops there. It does not tell us whether the calf was right. What matters is that the bull never hears a possible way through his immediate problem.
Feedback during a draft leaves room to choose what to change. Listening does not require following every suggestion, but it can reveal what your own familiar eyes missed.
Before submitting, ask someone to read one section and say where they get lost. Hear them out, then choose the change that actually makes the work clearer.
