David and I got cut out the editing process on that. We were able to affect it more than not. We sent in our notes, we were able to see cuts. We weren't allowed to see dailies and we weren't allowed to sit in the editing room and just work. ↗

I love producing. I am loving doing that. I think that is my most natural space in the business. I just love producing or editing and that's where I thrive. ↗

Editing is like pruning the rose bush you thought was so perfect and beautiful until it overgrew the garden. ↗

#beauty

I quickly realized that I enjoyed editing more than writing. I felt more suited to it and it fit my nurturing personality. I had lots of ideas and a strong sense of structure, and I enjoyed working with talented writers, relishing the give-and-take in making their work better. ↗

When I'm writing, I make words my b*tch. But when I'm editing, the words make me their b*tch. It all equals out in the end. ↗

I wish my life were a movie and I could take it into the editing room and totally cut this part out. And some other parts. Some other parts definitely need to be cut. ↗

We never end up with the book we began writing. Characters twist it and turn it until they get the life that is perfect for them. A good writer won't waste their time arguing with the characters they create...It is almost always a waste of time and people tend to stare when you do! ↗
