“Changing something from “draft” to “published” is like climbing a hill and looking down. The change in perspective makes certain things obvious. It’s why editors often still print things out in 12 point Courier and edit with a pen. Every time we simplify, we take a step out of the creative process. Sometimes that’s a good step—it’s easier to move boxes on a screen than to do manual paste-up with an X-Acto knife and hot wax. Still, we risk losing chances for analysis and reflection.”
