Editing Magic #1

3/24/2017

This is a new series of posts that show editing in a whole new light.  Editing is what you do naturally when you look at something and decide to change it.  It might be a little bit or a lot, and it’s not just for words.

​This is a frame I made last year December.  It was
my first try.
  I made 4 more as Christmas gifts.   This is the worst one.  Why?  Your first draft is your worst.  I didn’t practice and test drive my idea.  When I finished, I found flaws.  Look closely at the right side.  You’ll see gaps because I did 4 thin strips.  My daughter immediately suggested doing 1 wide one.  Frames 2-5 are better because my daughter edited my first attempt, and best of all, she loved her gift!  I’m so glad she looked.


The inside is the same on all 5 frames.  Why?  I tried maybe thirty different ways to put it together.  I settled on my favorite.  This is it.  Would you believe now, a year later, I’d change it?  I’d add a border between the top and bottom pictures.  Editing never stops.  Before you turn in your next assignment, project, or test, EDIT!  You will find your flaws, and ​you’ll be glad you found them.  Happy editing!

    When I write, I can only have one voice in my head, mine.  A little noise is fine.  But too much, or worse yet, WORDS, and I must change rooms or pull out headphones.  Then I can write on!
