Quick Diagnosis
- Revision feels overwhelming because every problem is visible at once.
- Line edits are happening before the scene’s purpose is clear.
- You need a sequence for revision, not a cloud of instincts.
Layered Revision Pass
- Purpose: the scene has a clear job.
- Friction: desire and obstacle are specific.
- Intensity: the level and curve are intentional.
- Arc: something changes by the end.
- Subtext: the scene has an unsaid sentence.
- Clarity: power, agency, and boundaries are legible.
- Lines: over-explanation is cut; language is sharpened.
Final remaining concern:
Next action:
Mini Example
First pass: clarify that the scene’s job is to shift trust.
Second pass: sharpen the hidden obstacle.
Final pass: cut lines that explain what the silence already shows.
