#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 7
Does your editing process tend towards addition or reduction?
Both. The first rounds are always addition as my early drafts are incomplete, like scaffolding or a line drawing. I add details which bring the story to life.
Later go throughs are about trimming excess words or duplications, revising to make things clearer, etc
