The Editing Process (Score:1)
A lifetime ago, when I was studying music composition (who thought I had a CS degree?), I heard an interview with Quincy Jones. He was talking about the composition process. The important thing, he said, is that you don't stop to say "That note's wrong, that lyric is bad." Just write. Edit later.
A good editor will smooth out differences in tone. A good editor will distinguish the fluff from the meat. Just write.
(Run your outline by a good editor first. Just Writing is easier with the right outline.)
