Just did an edit of an episode of @retroadventurers.bsky.social yesterday, and I have to say there's a very rough sort of experiential bias this causes. I spent so long zooming in on regions where participants momentarily tripped over their own tongues, lost their trains of thought, or otherwise flubbed up. I played these bits over and over to find just the right section to mute or cut out. It left me with a false memory that everyone had just made a hash of it.
I just played the full episode in the background while doing other things, and I was left thinking "Gosh, this is a great episode!" I'd love to take credit for a stellar edit or whatever, but really it was just obvious: these were all the bits I wasn't focusing on the previous day, run end-to-end! #InteractiveFiction #podcast #Audacity #editing

The big news from the annual ACES conference isn't the latest guidance from the AP Stylebook. It's that stylebook editor Paula Froke has retired. Here's a look at her legacy. #journalism #ACES2025 #editing https://editdesk.wordpress.com/2025/04/10/thank-you-paula-froke/
Revisions on chapter 2 done. Little break was what I needed. Now to listen through the whole thing while a robotic voice reads it. Then on to chp 3!
I use revisions instead of editing when talking about "fixing" a story. I'm revising what I've written, editing is what I pay a professional for.
That's how my brain works.

#WritersCoffeeClub Apr 6: Do you edit while #writing, or go wild and fix it later?
I edit continuously. I will start a session by editing what I wrote the last time, and I'll often be rereading sections (to keep things consistent, to rework when I need to improve setup for some later event, etc.) and I tweak and edit as I go. By the time I'm done, the 'polish pass' is usually pretty fast.
