I fancy a caramel with Hawaiian sea salt. The tiny shop
offers a refuge from the cold, the golden air a reprieve
from the colorless sky. I am always surprised to see other
people here, as if this place belongs to me alone. I step into
the Chocolat Bar in downtown Boise, checking the street
like I always do. I see only strangers, like I always do. A
woman stands talking with the clerk behind the counter.

Organization
• Paragraph level• Scenes/chapters• Structure of the entire book– Plot structure– Pacing
“These scenes are too fast (or too slow).”“This character’s actions are not believable.”

I haven’t been in for a few months, but my
routine is the same. I try some of their samples. I
enjoy their delicious taste.
DETAILS!

I haven’t been in for a few months, but my
routine is the same. I wander along the display
case and glance at the sample plate as if I’d
stumbled across it on accident and may as well
try a piece since I’m here. I’m not so bold as to
go straight for it without pretension. I test the
white chocolate Fall bark with bits of pistachios
and cranberries. Delicious.

Boring.

Why does this work better?

At first I feel self-conscious trying all
the different samples. One sample is
unusual, but I’m too shy to ask the clerk
what kind of candy it is.
Show don’t tell. Be specific.
![Page 19: Donna cook IWG editing workshop fixer upper session ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55c6c9cdbb61eb85268b45af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
I hesitate for a moment before I take another
sample, a dark chocolate shard laced with cinnamon.
Brazenly, I try the last offering, another dark chocolate
sample with a flavor I can’t identify. I’m curious about
it, but not curious enough to interrupt the clerk’s
conversation with her customer. It doesn’t matter. The
customer finishes up while I pretend to ponder
purchasing something I’ve just sampled.

Even with an editor, you are still the writer.
• There are things only you can bring to the table.
• Your editor will offer guidance.• Your editor should honor your style and voice.• Caveat: – Don’t excuse problems by saying “it’s my style.” – It only works if it works.

I stroll to the last display case, zeroing in on my predetermined purchase. There they are: chocolate-covered soft caramels sprinkled with pink Hawaiian sea salt. I order a square and my piece is wrapped in parchment paper.

NOT GOOD:
The audience is bored by the presentation.
BETTER:

EVEN BETTER?

I glance from my screen to the audience. An old woman stares through the window at the bare parking lot. A man in a tan polo shirt is preoccupied with his smart phone. Ditto for the woman in a fluffy pink sweater. Her artificial nails assault the screen: tap, tap, tap.
The few faces pointed in my direction wear the distant expressions of those whose thoughts lie elsewhere.
