The Total Artist #1.4: A practical approach to making your writing better

Good news: Editing can be fun!

Let’s take a moment to get practical: writing feels amazing when it is going well. But for many folks, editing can seem really daunting. It is so so common to end up feeling stuck and uninspired.

There is good news - you don’t have to stay there!

In this video…

This video covers a bit about the process of rewriting, and how to get moving again when you find yourself stuck.

This touches on:

  • Deciding when to add words and when to take away

  • The clarifying magic of cutting

  • Reordering words as a technique

  • The moment that completely changed my approach to rewriting

  • The importance of saving your drafts to experiment without risk

If you’ve been creating prose, take a moment to experiment with cutting - you might be surprised what new insight it gives you about your artistic voice.

For now,

Alli
