Am I the only one who gets really pumped about writing setting? Especially characters interacting with their environment. Chekov's tree -- if it's there, your char's gotta climb it, admire it, or smack right the fuck into it. Setting's probably the easiest bit for me, but I sometimes forget it in my excitement. Whoops.
Editing usually means "simplify/shave off chunks of clunky dialogue" (look, there's a reason why Fenn's not much of a conversationalist), and "pour on more of that delicious descriptionary/setting syrup". I really like increasing wordcount and adding more to scenes I didn't give enough attention the first time around, but inevitable I also have to rip out sections that turn out to be less relevant/engaging than I past thought. Repetition is where I fuck up the most.
But now that I've discovered the MAGIC OF OUTLINES, I don't think I'll have to rip so much out anymore.
*Increases wordcount to infinity and beyond*
