Oh, uh...

the first draft is never good. Never. The beauty of writing comes in the editing, when you can tear apart what you’ve done and make it better. It’s not about adding fancy words or making every sentence perfect. It’s about finding the heart of what you were trying to say and making sure that shines through. Editing means being ruthless, cutting out the fluff, and tightening every loose thread until your story feels solid. It’s tough to look at your own work and admit what needs to go, but that’s how your writing levels up.

Editing my work in progress makes me feel like a mad scientist in the best way.

i appreciate that the plot points for inquisition are just a list of cullen's ptsd triggers. demons, red lyrium, red lyrium templars, demon armies, blood mages, possible blights, definite undead, tevinter mages, tears in the veil, and worst of all, *checks notes* orlesians.
