making + editing

here are a few notes on the link between creating works (of art or anything) + editing.


1. PLAUSIBLE: do i believe this statement, passage, presentation? can X (word, passage, material, note, dialogue, etc.) exist in the world i have created?

2. OWNERSHIP: are these words, style, language attached to the maker?

3. AGENCY: do we have “active verbs”? are we carving, engaging, re-presenting?

4. WILLIE NELSON: does this object/project/sentence/passage ‘say’ the author/maker’s name clearly? if not > back to the “drawing” board.
