This morning an author disparaged the strongest paragraph in their first act.
We kept it.
Then we enhanced everything around it to support its magnitude.

So I'd love to hear from fellow writers: What's one lesson writing has taught you about being human?
There are no right or wrong answers. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts and learning from them.

YES! I know how hard it is to relinquish some of that beautiful prose, but if your readers get bored and bail they won’t get a chance to read on at all.

Writers obsess over words. Readers remember ideas.
If the phrasing is flawless but the point is unclear, the writing has failed. Structure, logic, and flow matter just as much as style.
Editing ensures your message—not just your sentences—lands.

This looks good and sounds good, but that doesn't tell us anything about the actual script. I'm hoping that #AlienEarth will knock it out of the park in terms of narrative, however, I can't help but think that nostalgia and visual effects will supersede that- kinda like #AlienRomulus #StoryMatters
