One idea. · 3:56am Dec 19th, 2014
Editors: "The changeling doll needs to be more consistent Pickleless, stick to one idea."
Pickleless: "That's not too hard. Next chapter is CMC in the everfree."
*Starts writing*
Editors: "No, see, this is what we're talking about. Stupid met Pinkie along the way to forest, ONE IDEA. CMC, FOREST, ONE, IDEA!"
Pickleless: "But-"
Editors: "ONE IDEA!!!"
I would like to just give a small thank you to all the editors out there who put up with their authors being stupid with their stories. Thank you so much for keeping us in check. No one appreciates you.
It's ok if Pinkie becomes relevant to the forest/cmc plot, if only briefly at the end. Just have to make sure everything you show is relevant to the chapter (or overarching plot) and its premise.
Does this mean the next chapter nearly done? I hope so.
If you're a smart writer, or just generally smart...
You'll love an editor. Even if they be a complete dick.

What's an editor?

And the great part is they're not even dicks!
I've read a LOT of good stories that could become great stories if they cut out like, every second chapter. The hardest part of being an editor is knowing how much stuff to cut to keep the pacing up.
Hell, even this post was originally 5 paragraphs long!
...Well alrighty then
I have to beat my editor regularly because he is worthless and lazy.
The only thing that works with him is the chain of command... I have the chain and I beat him to let him know that I am in command.
Worthless git still misses typos though. And I ruthlessly force him to keep up with my schedule of up to four or five releases in a day.
