As an editor who's also a writer, I know how overwhelming it can be to receive edits. If you're not sure where to start, here's a method that works for me (it's what I'm doing now!). 🧵 #AmEditing #WritingTips

1. Start with the easy yeses. You agree and it's a quick fix? Do it. 2. Move on to the easy nos. Reject changes/delete comments where you know 100% that the suggestion isn't the right fit. Tread carefully here—don't make rash decisions in the emotional first moments after reading through edits. Take time to simmer and process. 2/
