Edit esign underwriter

hey everyone its Jalen and I'm here today with another reading video today I wanted to talk about underwriting and overriding and this is going to be kind of part discussion about how these terms are used in the writing community because they're kind of used in ways that I don't think are very beneficial and part advice discussion type thing I think there's a much better way of looking at your books word count affecting and changing and editing your books word count so if you're in the writing community you've probably heard these terms before underwriter and / writer they've been floating around for as long as I've been in the writing community most people are probably familiar with them if you're not familiar with them underwriters are people who would typically underwrite their first drafts so their first drafts are too short / writers would be those whose first drafts would be too long I always consider myself an underwriter I'm not like drastically an underwriter but usually my first wraps are just a little shorter than they need to be like for a novel maybe 10,000 words shorter than they have to be my hope is to kind of talk about this topic in a more complex and hopefully helpful way because I think these terms are very oversimplified within the writing community and it can be kind of problematic for their processes and it can aggravate other issues I do think knowing your tendencies are great it is great to know if you tend to underwrite or overwrite or whatever I really think knowing your tendency is in anyway knowing what mistakes you tend to make is so so helpful even if you keep making them because you struggle not to being self aware is the best thing but I do think that this issue is much more complicated in the mean straight up an underwriter or an overeater so now I just wanted to talk about how I personally look at this topic because I think it's a much more effective way of actually editing your word count to be where you need it to be and where the story needs it to be getting it to the right word count so that it's more publishable so it's more readable and also so that your story is stronger so that what I like to see it is that a book has multiple planes or levels and on each individual plane you want to consider whether you tend to under write or over write but keep in mind that your tendency doesn't mean you will always do so so the first level is the plot level the question here is do I have the right number of scenes in my plot so if you don't have enough scenes near plot your story won't be set up developed or concluded or maybe all three in a way that is sufficient enough whereas on the other hand...
