Re: Editing Advice?

[(Anonymous)]

I have the exact opposite problem to you, OP - I don't write enough, because I can't get my inner editor to STFU for five minutes.

So... big chapters.

One thing you can do is before you start writing the chapter, outline exactly what needs to happen in that chapter. What are the key events, characters and scenes? Use this as your guide for when you stray too far off course.

Next thing is to edit unnecessary writing.
Cut out descriptors. Cut out things that don't further the plot or characters. Cut out filler and padding and any bits that you felt were boring when you were writing them.
(Eg. In one novel I read, the author spent half a page describing the wardrobe of a minor character.)

Cutting out any bits you felt were boring is excellent advice. If you found it boring, a reader will find it more so.

Aha, I don't have an inner editor. I think they quit and moved out a long time ago.

Thank you for your advice!

The above commenter is right, the 'cut the boring stuff' is good advice.
