This is very interesting as my middle grade novel is being edited this week. I had an understanding of sorts but this video is very enlightening. I look forward to receiving the results of my editor's work when it comes back to me. I'm sure it will be a great improvement on my writing and a big step forward.
Wonderful binfotmation as always is there a possibility to get feedback during the creative process of your writing piece sometimes I feel a am lost on a creative map which is like being caught ain a writing knot do you have any suggestions bless you for your wonderful inputs

Couldn’t stay on. The comments in the chat worked against learning. Seems there were more editors and critics. If I can see this without the chat it will help. I really appreciated what the editors on the webinar were doing.
My take on "A Dragon's Tail" My parents stir on the pallet next to me. Looks like our small fire died hours ago. I shiver under my threadbare blanket and sit up to rub the last remnants of sleep from my eyes. "How long do we have to stay in this stupid cave? It's cold, dark, and smells like guts." Dad groans and rolls over, glaring at me. "Listen, boy. You've been complaining ever since we made camp last night." He coughs up some phlegm and scratches his armpit. "Big difference between living and surviving. So unless you want to fend for yourself, this is the best you've got."
Better, and I like the image of a pallet and threadbare blanket. But the problem remains--how does the character see anything when there's no light? Personally, I'd suggest opening with the character seeing their dad lighting a fire, or working around a fire such as making coffee.
I'm very late to this but I have to say, and I'm not a native speaker but it's kind of obvious to me that A Dragon's Tail is a wordplay like the Manga series Fairy Tail.
I have to say, these editors are very kind and generous.
Both editors were really thorough and constructive. Very interesting session.
I would love more of these videos. So helpful.
Excellent! It gives me a good idea of what to look for when I'm going through my writing and making changes.

you can actually hide comments from a live feed. The icon looks like a speech bubble with a line through it, I think.

Scott Miller That’s an excellent point. Thank you
@@ScottyDMcom or he could just say I hear Dad groan next to me and cough up some phlegm. Help me restart this fire, boy. And stop complaining etc etc
Masterclass
Hello, what about remaining extract? where can we find edited passages. thanks
11:00 what about the comma between ill-fitting and crumpled? Also 23:49 there should be a comma between tall and dark.
