And I Thought I Could Edit As A Side-thing - Blog Posts

3 months ago

That moment in editing

when you're revising your document, rewriting where it needs, editing out-editing in, in the flow

and then suddenly you REALIZE

that you've fallen prey to the 'it's logical'-goblin that every writer knows that tricks you into believing that you've set up all the foreshadowing necessary because it all makes sense to YOU

but you realize with dawning horror

that you're not just the reader, you're also the writer

and so of course it makes sense if Character A is a cat for 20+ chapters, turns human for only 2 chapters and then has a full-on make-out session with Character B

it makes sense

because you wrote it

and the "it's-logical"-goblin told you that it's logical when you read it

because the logical-goblin is an effin' logical fallacy is what it is

and now i don't have enough foreshadowing
