Being a story editor also involves serving as a perspective editor, crucial for understanding the subjective layer of experiences. A powerful question to consider is 'What am I making this mean?' which helps in navigating disagreements by distinguishing between objective facts and personal interpretations. This question encourages self-reflection on why certain actions trigger strong emotional responses, revealing deeper meanings and potential misunderstandings in relationships. Additionally, considering alternative meanings fosters better communication and partnership, emphasizing that experiences are defined not by what happens, but by how individuals interpret and respond to those events.
