rewriting the opening of a short story // sci-fi 🌧 // edit with me

"I like being on lookout because it's the only time I'm allowed to stare like that." That is such a beautiful line. I love these videos, they are such a good way to show editing/rewriting, and I love your writing! I'd love to read this whole story.

ahhh thank you so much!! 😭✨

[@DarrianChamblee]

I have no formal creative writing training (never took a class or anything) and I find these videos extremely helpful! I think too often we write the thing and then don’t really know where to go from there. Thanks for sharing this process with us again!

[@KrisMF]

I'm so happy it's interesting!! thanks for watching :)

[@elanorisms]

This is really interesting to see the changes between the original text and the revised! I'm so used to seeing writing in its Final Form in books, and it's easy to beat myself up that my 1st draft words aren't as good as their final draft words

[@KrisMF]

i feel that!! i always compare my first drafts to published books 😭

[@ananeu]

loved this video! i adored the idea about the deadly rain - such a subtle but compelling concept. ur editing style is so organised!! in loveeee xx

[@KrisMF]

ahh thank you so much !! ☺️💛

[@KrisMF]

[@zenebornman7917]

I love these type of videos. 😊❤

[@KrisMF]

I'm so glad to hear that! :))

[@lexically4243]

the re-write is so, so good-- i loved the atmosphere you developed and i'm now very invested in elizabeth's backstory!

[@KrisMF]

ahh thank you !! ☺️☀️

[@martellc1008]

Thanks, this going to help me actually finish my short stories drafting, revising, and publishing ❤🎉 You offer unique but practical advice on the craft, appreciate it 😊

[@kelleyiswriting]

Ahh I love this!!! Seeing the rewrite is so refreshing, your writing is so pretty 😍

[@KrisMF]

omg thank u so MUCHHH 😭💛

[@mhjmakes3631]

I honestly thought that the zero draft was pretty good for what it was, but the rewrite was just exceptional. We got so much more characterization here. Don't mind me as I quickly scan through your videos to see if we got a full short story from this... 😗🎵🎶🎵

[@mjikayla]

This was so fun to watch! It gave me a lot of ideas on how to add to a scene and how to get thoughts across how I WANT them to come across. Additionally, you’re very engaging to watch! Make more for sure!

[@KrisMF]

thank you!!! I'm so happy to hear that :D

[@noncomplacent]

This channel is so far above the rest. Not only because of superior writing but also because of the insights you give about thought process, character building, etc. And you've gotta add to the let's edit series. It's not too often that I don't hate someone's writing but I'm actually impressed with yours. Which is really weird as I've rarely praised anyone's videos on any subject. Nice work.

[@alayshacrowe2082]

✨💥 Luca and Laurel 💥✨ You put to the page their dynamic so well. The details with the hot chocolate, how you always have a deeper purpose for a beat in the scene. It is all very inspiring. Also, yes, your audience loves these kinds of videos lol!

[@whatdoiputhere9618]

This was very satisfying and interesting to watch. I would love to see you expand on this idea. Also I find your voice very calming and I love your videos

[@KrisMF]

I'm so glad it was interesting!! thank you for watching :)
