I adore your edits system, and saw it make a step change in my writing when I started using it. Thank you for sharing your system and helping me to see the Power of Pink! (I'm a thinking girl, and the hook of visceral responses was an eye opener for me.) Thank you again, Lynn Hi Margie,

I find a higher percentage of GREEN in historicals, fantasy, paranormals - anything other-wordly. GREEN covers setting and character description. When sharing other worlds, writers need to provide more description. I find more RED PEN in suspense and thrillers that are loaded with action scenes. The BALANCE of EDITS System colors will vary somewhat due to voice, genre, style, scene. Thanks for asking! I hope to see you on-line again! teshilaire said in January 19th, 2010 at 1:45 pm Margie, Do you find that different types of fiction (ie urban fantasy vs contemporary vs historical vs suspense) are weighted more with certain colors than others using your EDITS system? and if so, is this necessary and good? or should all genre’s strive for a particular balance? Thanks! Tes HELLO TES –

Margie,

Do you find that different types of fiction (ie urban fantasy vs contemporary vs historical vs suspense) are weighted more with certain colors than others using your EDITS system? and if so, is this necessary and good? or should all genre’s strive for a particular balance?

Thanks!
Tes
