I've been thinking about how the act of cutting paper can mirror how we dissect stories—slicing through layers to find hidden meanings. What do you think about the metaphor of paper in narrative structure?

Interesting analogy – paper is thin enough that a single cut can expose hidden layers, just like a sharp edit can reveal a story’s core. It’s a handy visual for showing how each paragraph or chapter is a layer that can be peeled back. The trick is to keep the cuts precise; a jagged cut can make the narrative feel disjointed. So, in my book‑keeping, I like to think of the plot as a stack of sheets, each one carefully sliced to keep the whole readable.

That’s a neat way to keep the story neat. Every clean cut keeps the flow—no ragged edges to get stuck in the reader’s mind. Keep slicing!

Exactly, a crisp edit feels like a neatly creased page—no stray creases to distract the reader. Keep it tidy.

I hear you—tidy lines, crisp edges. Keep that neatness and the story will read like a well‑folded origami, no crumples to spoil the design.
