change and you might end up not using them after all, or needing to edit them in a different way. . . . Anyway, that's what the editing process looks like for me--kind of a mix of different things, but starting with the biggest and moving toward smaller changes. Good luck, I hope it's a fun project and that as you edit you're pleasantly surprised by the fantastic sentences and scenes you forgot you'd written. ^_^

make sense. And then from there you kind of do triage--there will be brand new sections to add, then there will be existing sections that need a major rewrite; it's up to you which to start with. Then there will be some sections or scenes that are pretty much okay as they are, and you might want to play around with word choice or move sentences or paragraphs around but you're basically going to stick with what you have. Save those for last, because other things might

I think the first thing is to get a sense of what works and doesn't work in the story on a large scale. And reading it again after a few months/years away, and just trying to experience it as a reader, is a good way to get that. I think my next step would be to write out a summary of the plot--just a basic "this is what happens and why"--because being forced to put it down in words can help you see how the pieces fit together and which pieces are weak or don't

I do a mix of both. I also like to read it out loud, it makes you slow down while reading and mistakes will pop up much easier and you'll also be able to hear how smoothly the sentences flow with each other. If you can, have someone read passages to you. It helps me a lot

@takethewatch: Wow, thank you! That’s a good plan. It’s been about two and a half years since i’ve even taken a look at it, so I’m definitely reading it first, but writing out a plot summary is a really good plan, as is working from biggest to smallest!

@pappasaur: Thanks! As for having someone read it to me, maybe on a later draft, but this one is bad enough that I’d rather never have anyone but me see it, haha.

So, tell me if I'm alone in this (spoiler alert-Twilight Princess) but at the end of the credits when it shows Link riding away from Ordon and leaving Ilia behind, I've always liked to think he left to find a way to the Twilight Realm again so he could be with Midna because that's my ship that never sailed 😭😭😭 also, I think that'd be a pretty cool game to see. If nothing else at least a short spin off of TP

Nah man MidnaxZelda lol

I've been feeling like a legitimate child ever since this HD remake came out 😭😭😭😭

Omggg me too!!!! It’s my favorite loz game (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ～

I'm not trying to come off as antagonist or anything, so I hope you're not taking it that way

I didn't think you were, it's fine. I truly don't think that guy actually cares about what men deal with as much as he cares about derailing feminism. If he really cared about those points he came up with it wouldn't have been just 5 pictures of himself smirking.
