#WritersCoffeeClub Do you believe the magic happens in the edit, or do you have a different approach?
Magic happens at every step. I didn't used to like editing, as I initially thought of it merely as correcting mistakes. But, over time, I came to recognize that editing gives you the opportunity to delve into subtle changes of wording & pacing that can enhance the drama, heighten the tension, or pack more emotion into a scene. I love editing as much as outlining and drafting now. I love it all.
