(Encouragement for the writer in the editing phase)
No, no, no, no! It's okay!
It just looks bad. See these broken pieces? They are supposed to be like that -- don't cry.
Do you know why this is good?
Because this is how you make it better.
It's a piece of art. The broken pieces catch the light better. And you can rearrange them into the most stunning visuals and thrilling patterns. With the bits like this, we'll make a picture that will take people's breath away.
That's why we sent our story to the beta readers in the first place, remember? Here. Take the pieces. It's going to be amazing. I can't wait to see!
Lovely reminder!
