Probably the best solution to judging one's own work is the passage of
time. When the work is newly created it is probably difficult for all
of us to seperate the energy of the creation from the piece itself. As
time passes, the mindset diminishes and we can then be more distanced
from the act of creation, allowing a more global judgement. There are
always those pieces. however, which we know are "right" at inception as
well as those, despite a high energy level, that just don't work.
