#WritersCoffeeClub 29Nov—What did you edit out of your most recent book?
I'm currently editing book three in TWOTW series. Most of what I've edited out is repetitive descriptions.
It's been challenging, TBH. I enjoy descriptive prose, but I know too much can be boring. Also, I have four POV characters experiencing the same places/events, and they all see things differently.
But the trick, I've found, is to focus less on what they experience, and more on how those experiences make them feel.
