Edelweiss, another suggestion, if you have time, is to join a critique group where the level of writing is generally high (you'll figure that on your first day.) My group has been invaluable to me because not only do I get different viewpoints, but members have different areas of expertise. For instance, the last crit one person referred to me as the group's grammar expert, and someone else said "if Meredith says you're too wordy, you're too wordy" -- but I rarely have comments about plot development or characters, unless something is glaring. However, other writers there can nitpick plots like I never could. Even if you only go to a few meetings, you'll get an idea about how much needs to be done.
