Random Quote

We can take these beats, which are basically the beats of your outline, and if the words “and then” belong between those beats, you’re fucked, basically. You’ve got something pretty boring. What should happen between every beat you’ve written down is either the word “therefore” or “but.” … It should be “this happens, and THEREFORE this happens, BUT this happens, THEREFORE this happens.”

— Matt Stone and Trey Parker

To be an editor, you have to be a reader. It’s the number one qualification. Because you could have all the editorial tools, but if you’re not a responsive reader you won’t sense where the problems lie.
