A perfectionist is someone that believes in the quality and state of being perfect or complete or wanting nothing requisite. It’s belief in excellence: the highest attainable state or degree of excellence. So perfectionism is a dislike for anything less than perfection.
Perfectionism makes you your worse critique. You’ll never be satisfied if the work you have created by writing is less than excellent, so you want to go through it again and again, and again. If you get tired, you put it aside for another day to go through it again. But you can never give it out unless it’s just perfect.
But also writers could hire the services of editors, reviewers and the like.
Perfectionism from a perfectionist could be seen in every part of their life, not just in writing, but we’re discussing writing here.
Please note that perfectionism is not a condition like obsessive compulsive disorder.
But if you’re a perfectionist, even when you read other people’s works, you read to critique: looking beyond the words to see what the writer is doing. What decisions and choices did the writer make, and why you think he or she did that? What works for you, and what doesn't? Why?
