Editing and refining the story from "summary" of Storytelling for dummies by Andrea Fontana
Editing and refining your story is a crucial step in the storytelling process. This is where you take a closer look at every aspect of your story, from plot to characters to dialogue, in order to make sure that everything is working together seamlessly. When you edit your story, you are essentially looking for ways to improve it. This could involve cutting out unnecessary scenes or dialogue, tightening up your prose, or even restructuring the entire plot. It's about taking a step back and looking at your story from a fresh perspective, identifying what works and what doesn't, and making the necessary changes to create a stronger, more cohesive narrative. Refining your story is all about polishing it up until it shines. This could involve fine-tuning your language, adding depth to your characters, or enhancing the emotional impact of certain scenes. It's about paying attention to the details and making sure that every word, every sentence, every paragraph serves a purpose and contributes to the overall impact of the story. Editing and refining your story is a process that requires time, patience, and a willingness to make tough decisions. It's about being willing to cut out your favorite scenes if they don't serve the story, or to rewrite entire chapters if they're not working. It's about being open to feedback and criticism, and being willing to make changes in order to improve your story.- Editing and refining your story is about taking your initial idea and molding it into a compelling, engaging narrative that will captivate your readers from beginning to end. It's about putting in the hard work to make sure that your story is the best it can be, and that it has the potential to resonate with readers long after they've finished reading it.
