An ink wash painting of a cat with an image of a cat in its fur

Editing, like ink wash painting, refines the intense artistry applied by the author, allowing new expressions and ideas to unfold. Editing is collaborative but temporary work—the water splashed on an already-inked canvas, set to spread, set, and quickly dry. What once lay dense in the brush of the author, with only a little water, unfolds for the eyes of the reader.
