This is where having someone read your work can be very very helpful.

And I think asking for and accepting help is something most people undervalue, we have this idea fed to us at school that we must do it all alone and off the cuff.

But that's not how successful people succeed irl.

( really, he's very lucky to have you, many other people would be so grateful for any help at all )
