My editor's main job is to cut down my worldbuilding. There's so much fun stuff in there, you know?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do a lot of brainstorming with my editors.
I'm a big fan of editing and keeping only the interesting bits in.
I like being an editor, and I know how to make a magazine.
The process of editing is what I enjoy most - putting the pieces together and making sense out of them.
I try to help people become the best possible editors of their own work, to help them become conscious of the things they do well, of the things they need to look at again, of the wells of material they have not even begun to dip their buckets into.
I feel that my job is to create an atmosphere where creative people can do their best work.
I do just as much world-building in a short story as I do for a novel.
I have great editors, and I always have. Somehow, great editors ask the right questions or pose things to you that get you to write better. It's a dance between you, your characters, and your editor.
When you are writing and directing and producing, there is a lot of stuff to do. I like to finish one; then while I am editing, I will think of the next one.
When we are in pre-production, this is the best job in the world. Working 10 to 7, sitting around and brainstorming with the other writers, making things funnier and writing and rewriting scenes - that's as fun as it gets.
