Editing
Found this interesting idea about EDITING on Seth Godin's blog
Turns out that for the last twenty-seven years, every single movie that managed to win the Oscar for best picture was also nominated for best editing.
Great products, amazing services and stories worth talking about get edited along the way. Most of the time, the editing makes them pallid, mediocre and boring. Sometimes, a great editor will push the remarkable stuff. That's his job.The easy thing for an editor to do is make things safe. You avoid trouble that way. Alas, it also means you avoid success.
Who's doing your editing?
Godin is more of a marketing person than educator, but how strong of a connection do you see between a great piece of writing and the editor? Do you see the amount of revision/editing that went into it as the secret to "Oscar-worthy" writing in any genre?
