And then there's editing. I re-read and find all my characters' flaws showing in the unfiltered morning light. I find holes in their stories, having heard them so many times.
But like any good relationship, my job is to look into the flaws and the errors and the mess and find the truth, the uniqueness of their story. But to do this well, I have to remember that theirs is the same story I fell in love with.
