# 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.
