May writing tips na nakakalat sa 11/23, and a reader told me, "Bakit ba naglalagay ka ng writing tips sa kwento? Nakakawala sa concentration, eh. Gumawa ka na lang ng separate book! Wag dito!" (pero di talaga ganito yun, OA lang ako) and I say, why...

TUNGKOL SAAN ANG KWENTONG ITO AT ANONG DAHILAN NG PAGSUSULAT KO NITO?
12 things to remember in editing your work
1. Editing is hard work. Hindi lang ito basta-basta tanggal typo, grammar errors, ayos ng layout - done deal. No. It will never be just that simple. (substance, line, copy & proof!)
2. You need to reread your first draft with fresh eyes. Get away from the story for two weeks minimum. Read your story out loud, with voice, with audience.
3. Explore the story as much as possible but as the editing goes on, make the story intact. Walang tapon. Iikot lang sa pinakakwento.
4. Add the necessary, delete the unnecessary.
5. A simple blurred house is not enough, but use that simple house as your base to make a better version of your own.
6. Beauty is not enough. Make the story as realistic and justified as possible.
7. Not everything you have written, even if it's the coolest thing ever, will stay.
8. Don't settle for less. Your story deserves more.
9. Every single thing in the book must move the plot forward, develop character, or strengthen the story. as much as possible: AVOID FILLERS!
10. Remember: Revise the big picture. Edit the small picture. Tweak the materials used in making the picture. Let other critical eyes read your story. Let others help you with with their opinions. But you will always, always, always be the final decision as the author.
11. Learn when to stop. If everything is intact but you kept on editing, tweaking and changing - stop. You're murdering your story already.
12. The editing process will be frustrating as fuck. As in, AS FUCK - sobrang nakakaiyak. But what happens after the rain? Rainbow. Kaya kung gusto mo ng rainbow, magpakalunod sa bagyo.
WRITING: makilala mo ang kwento.
REDRAFTING: mas ma-explore mo ang kwento.
EDITING: tutulungan ka ng iba i-explore at ayusin ang kwento mo para makilala ng iba.
