While editing IKONA, I realized something crucial: the ancient Russian Orthodox cross at the center of the story was actually its own character. Here is how the icon's journey came together during my editing process.

The #editingprocess is always amusing. I come across some things that were meant to be pithy, but instead they come off as if I wrote them down when I woke up in the middle of the night. Delete!

Day 2 of first edits (basically reading through it myself) and I've added 2 pages and almost 1400 words, and I'm only halfway through. #amwriting #editingprocess #thePack

I give similar advice to writers. Get the story out, that first draft needs to be on paper before the magic of revisions and editing can even happen.

Chapter 17 (of 22) edited! ✅ A nice quick, tight chapter. It's all one scene - a bit of a set piece which includes the 'major setback' (plot point 4). Nothing major changed but I cut a lot of needless words. #editingprocess #writingcommunity ✍🏻

Chapter 10 (of 22) edited! ✅ Another high-tension chapter tightened up 🔥 I weeded a lot of repetitive words out of this one 🤦🏻‍♀️ #writingcommunity #amediting #editingprocess ✍🏻

Here begins a megathread live-posting of my #EDITINGPROCESS (begun in X, brought over here at the chapter 7 mark). Editing process is something a lot of writers seem to ask each other about, and there are as many ways to do it as there are writers. So here's what's working for me. #writingcommunity
Reporter's notebook with my editing process simplified in bullet points, and a purple pen beside it. Page reads: EDITING PROCESS • COMPLETE FIRST DRAFT • ADDITIONS - ADD MISSING MATERIAL FROM LIST MADE DURING DRAFTING, AND FIX KNOWN PROBLEMS. • ASSESS PLOT STRUCTURE & CHARACTER ARCS - MAKE STRUCTURAL CHANGES, NOTE SMALLER ONES FOR LATER • SET UP STORY SPREADSHEET - IF NOT ALREADY DONE • CHAPTER-BY-CHAPTER EDITS: - USE SPREADSHEET TO STRENGTHEN SCENES & PLOT POINTS - EXPORT, & RUN SPELLING/GRAMMAR/ STYLE CHECKS, SENTENCE EDITS - CHECK MOST-USED WORDS - CUT & REPHRASE WHERE NECESSARY - FORMAT CHECK, FINAL (FOR NOW) READ THROUGH & LINE EDITS

#TOPWIP chapter 7 (of 22) edited! ✅

Which I think means it's time for my #editingprocess megathread to immigrate from the other place...

Tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow.

Writing is rewriting. That's the whole secret. Good enough is a real destination, and knowing when you've arrived is a skill. Did you tell your story? Then let it go.

Draft → submission timeline (typical):
1. draft complete
2. developmental clarity
3. revision pass
4. line edit
5. copy edit checks
6. proofread
Sequence matters: structure first, polish later.
