One of the reasons you need to kill your darlings is that sometimes clever writing just distracts your audience rather than improves your story.

Cut the clever side quest. Ditch the barista with a tragic backstory.
If it doesn’t serve the plot or reveal something vital, it’s just literary clutter. 🛍️✂️ #writingtips #editingadvice #killyourdarlings #tightprose #firstdraftproblems #amediting #writingcraft #writingcommunity

You could keep tweaking your manuscript forever, and many of us will if left to our own devices! So I try to have clients decide if the changes are making their writing better or just different.

The hardest part of editing isn't technical—it's emotional.
That one shot looks cinematic and beautiful. You spent 2 hours color grading it. But if it doesn't move the story forward? Cut it. ✂️🗑️

Some days, it's hard to edit when the sheer scope of what you're doing is daunting. But it's always possible to break the job down stage by stage and chapter by chapter. Eventually, any project can be whipped into decent shape as long as you don't give up.

We like to think we can remember what happened in a previous chapter; no need to have it recapped in the next!
Today's DON'T: don't interrupt the flow, don't assume readers aren't invested enough to know what happened before.
