Currently editing and this gem of a post from Sacha Black caught my eye. Shall be trying this unusual approach.
Editing is a bitch. I’ve written about the differences betweenediting and revisingbefore. But my dear friend Alirecently taught me one of the best, most practically useful lessons I’ve ever learnt when it comes to editing.
See, for a long time, I wrote, linearly, and then when I finished, I went back to the start and edited.
That’s good. But no matter how many times I did it, I still found a shit-tillion mistakes. Which resulted in a sort of crazed, goggle eyed, fuzzy haired – I’m going to commit arson on my manuscript – type look. It wasn’t pretty, my hairs curly enough thanks.
So, I listened to Ali and started tweaking the method to suit me. I’m going to share this editing trick with you, and hopefully it will help you to clean up your scripts too.
