Trimming Drafts for Improved Writing Quality

Let's talk "trimming." Why do it? Well... because your manuscript is longer than it needs to be. Yes, we're talking to you. AND you. And you, too. None of you are exempt! (Well... maybe YOU are, but you can't be allowed to believe it.) So... what do you trim? We've covered "Killing Your Darlings" way back in Season One Episode Three, so while those are certainly on the list of things to cut, we're going to focus on tightening your prose and reducing word-count without changing the story. So that's what we cover in a brisk, 15-minute 'cast whose synopsis is at least fifty words longer than it needs to be. Maybe fifty-two.
