I've always loved brainstorming with other writers, and I consider having my work critiqued a part of that brainstorming.

The process of editing is what I enjoy most - putting the pieces together and making sense out of them.

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.

I'm not a writer, but I'm very good at editing. That's my specialty. I can read something and tell you everything that's wrong with it and what's great about it and what needs to change, but it's hard for me to organize my thoughts.

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.

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.

My editor's main job is to cut down my worldbuilding. There's so much fun stuff in there, you know?

After writing each novel, I would spend days poring over suggestions from my editor.

I throw ideas out into the open when I really should just be writing them down in a journal.
