I mentioned the other day that I enjoy the editing process. Apparently I am not alone!
On his blog David Antropus recently wrote, “editing is an integral part of the creative process and isn’t really qualitatively different from writing. What we tend to call “writing” is in fact “initial drafting” and what we often think of as “editing” is just a deeper form of “writing”. Every bit as creative, and potentially just as satisfying. At its best, it’s the layers of paint over the pencil sketch.”
He goes on to demonstrate, showing the process. Check out the indiesunlimited piece by clicking here. He has some valuable links in the comment section. Read through it all. Great stuff!
