Unlock the Secret Editing Tricks That Can Transform Your Short Story Overnight
STEP 2:
Read through as an editor.
Get out that red pen. It’s time to make those pages bleed. If you didn’t like something in your story when you put on your reader hat, figure out what you didn’t like.
Was a bit of dialogue weird? Did it lag and bore you in a certain spot? Was the ending too abrupt? Was this character’s action unbelievable? Is there a character arc? (Is something different for your character at the end than how they started in the beginning?) Is the story an actual story (does it have all the elements of plot)?
