# Overview

Polishing Queue is for scenes that are close enough to finished that language-level work makes sense. This includes clarity, rhythm, pacing, transitions and final presentation.

# When Should I Use This?

Use it when you want a focused editing session and the scene no longer needs major structural changes.

# How To Use It

Open a queued scene and work on readability, emphasis, paragraph flow, sensory detail and whether the ending lands cleanly.

# Example

A scene may be structurally sound but still need sharper dialogue, smoother transitions or a clearer emotional turn.

# Writer Tip

Polishing is best when the scene has already earned its place.

# Common Mistakes

- Polishing before scene purpose is clear.
- Mistaking pretty wording for stronger pacing.
- Ignoring continuity warnings because the prose reads well.
