Reading Susan Bell's book The Artful Edit. I love how she separates macro from micro editing. It makes so much sense--why edit for language when you haven't got the storyline down? Here's what she says:
When doing macro editing, consider:
intention
character: palpability, credibility, motive
structure: rhythm, tension
foreshadowing
theme: leitmotiv
continuity of tone
When doing micro editing consider
language
repetition
redundancy
clarity
authenticity of image and dialogue
continuity of visuals and character
show and tell
beginnings, ending, transitions.
Fantastic eh?
