I recently came up with the analogy that choosing the right words for your manuscript is similar to choosing to eat a healthy diet. As I\u2019ve run into a plethora of health issues where I have needed to again cut out foods that might be giving me issues, the correlation with editing my manuscript to take out issues popped into my head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve actually found flushing out these examples has helped me see both my food diet and my manuscript in a different light. So I thought I would share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing The Right Foods and Words<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We trim out foods that give us issues; We trim off words that give us issues<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right foods takes practice, and sometimes we tend to slip a favorite in; choosing the right words take practice, but sometimes favorite words slip in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though a particular food is a favorite, eating it doesn\u2019t always have a good after effect; even though we like a particular word, it may not be the best word for the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheating on our Diet and with Our Writing<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When we feel better, we want to cheat and eat a food that can cause issues; After spending time a ton of time flushing out our opening, our middle doesn’t get as much attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes having just one taste because it sounded like a great idea, really isn’t a great idea; the ideas for our MS sometimes don’t work on paper as well as in our heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We may take supplements or medicine to offset the affect of foods, but we have to put in the effort to eat the right foods to truly make change. We take classes and workshops or ask for feedback from others, but we have to apply what we learn to our writing to truly make change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be consistent, meal after meal, it gets easier to eat healthy; continuously work on our MS, day after day, it gets easier to choose the right words<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say no when we reach for foods that can hurt us; we have to say no to those distractions that can take us away from our writing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accountability<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We have to track our progress to hold us accountable with what we eat and identify when something affects us; we have to track our progress to hold us accountable in our writing, and keep track of the words that give us issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By tracking foods that affect us, we learn what to avoid; by tracking the unnecessary words we constantly use, we learn how to spot them better, and choose more wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay attention when a food causes inflammation and later, decide against eating it; Track word count in our manuscript and choose the least amount of words to express what we want to say without it being too wordy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read labels to find the hidden ingredients that are a part of our list of no-no\u2019s; Pay attention to the weasel words that sneak in to our manuscript and work on removing them overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplify our menu\u2019s to keep from adding in foods that can cause issues;\u00a0Cut back the plot points that take us on a side journey and don\u2019t keep the story on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right words make a great story<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We eliminate foods from our diet because it will help us have better overall health; We eliminate words from our MS so that it can be a better story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
