The Editing Process

[corilannam]

I have never done this much editing on a story in my life.

I think my current process can pretty much be summed up by the following moment from Sports Night:

Jeremy: I don't know what to do.
Casey: You should make it shorter.
Jeremy: I tried everything.
Casey: You should try making it shorter.
Jeremy: What's the key?
Casey: In this case?
Jeremy: Yeah.
Casey: Making it a lot shorter.
Jeremy: I can't imagine what I'd cut.
