@dublinwriter.bsky.socialEditing is taking away the word that explains, softens or dilutes your writing. What could you remove and still get the idea across?

@dublinwriter.bsky.socialTake a sentence from your WIP & write 3 versions, changing only 1 important word each time. Which version creates the strongest image, emotion, or character?

@dublinwriter.bsky.socialMicro editing is noticing. One unnecessary word. One weak verb. One sentence that could be tighter. Words can make or break your story.

@dublinwriter.bsky.socialRead a paragraph aloud & listen for words that feel slightly wrong. Your ear can spot a weak word before your editor's brain can see it.

@dublinwriter.bsky.socialThe first word that comes to mind isn't always the best. During a micro edit, pause over nouns and verbs. Are they the right ones?

@dublinwriter.bsky.socialWhen editing, look at every “very”, “really”, “quite” and “just”. Does the sentence need it? If it can survive without it, delete it!

@dublinwriter.bsky.socialGood writing is often about small choices. Replace one vague verb with a precise one. What changes when you choose the exact word?
