Words Matter Week: Writing Challenge Day 4

March 5, 2020 1 Comment

Thursday’s writing challenge: Editors look at words from all angles. Writers use words as tokens of their thoughts. What words help editors and writers get along?

Interested in participating in the NAIWE writing challenge? Each day we will post a question. Respond to the question on your blog or social media page (be sure to include #WordsMatterWeek in your response), and then link back to it in the comments of the corresponding article on the NAIWE blog. For each challenge you respond to, you will receive one entry (and a bonus entry for each response written on your NAIWE blog). At the end of the week, we will have a drawing, and one person will win free access to a NAIWE webinar, along with a mention and link in the next newsletter!

Post in the comments below with a link to your response to today’s question.

    What words help editors and writers get along? I’d say, “On the same page”.
    I was going to say, “Be the reader.” But then, what if the writer visualizes a certain type of reader while the editor sees another type? Would that exercise then defeat its very purpose? “On the same page” is not just a pun, but a realistic requirement. A writer and their editor need not be good friends, nor see eye to eye on every issue. They just need to work toward a common goal and be able to understand each other’s point of view. To be “on the same page” is not an eternal endeavor. Once the job is over, they can turn the page.
