I love helping people put names to things. It demystifies the editing process. I can't tell you how happy I was when I learned there were three types of editing.

I'd do each one naturally, but I didn't have a process. It was a freaking revelation when I learned what each type was and why it was key to do them separately.

Before I knew about the three types, editing felt like wading through a baking dish of buttery mashed potatoes. Delicious, but messy.

After I learned about the three types, editing felt like eating a perfectly cooked three-course meal. Delicious, but clean.
