"When you write a narrative, you tend to write "what happened this chapter?"

Beware the unreliable narrator tag.

That’s the difference between drafting and editing. Writing a chapter is about recording events — what happens. Editing is about shaping the reader’s experience — pacing, tension, clarity, and emotional payoff. The first answers the story’s needs; the second answers the reader’s.

@Omarfaruq That feels... backwards. And I really wish I could place more here than 420 characters.

Tell you what, I'm gonna cheat the system.

@L1aei, you are right. I was going to say the same, but you know the 420-word limit, and to shorten it, I added some nonsensical points. Thanks for pointing it out.

@Omarfaruq

@L1aei but isn’t that the same? By “recording,” I didn’t mean literally recording events. Of course, we still have to decide what happens and what doesn’t.

Lol
