My Grading Scheme

The last blog post was about why I chose to "grade" my fiction. This is about the grades I gave myself. "C" is average: any ol' Joe or Joan could do as well. "B" is above average, better than any ol' Joe or Joan. "D" is below average: not as good as the average Joe or Joan could do. No "F"s because, after all, I am writing!

Here is the list of fiction elements, and my grades of myself based on knowledge, experience, and skills.

My overall fiction writing grade is "B-". This is barely above average, and for me right now, not in the least acceptable.

Anything else to add to this list? How would you grade yourself as a writer -- or in any creative endeavor?
