Does Editing Count As Real Writing?

Does editing count as real writing? We all have those days where we fill up a blank page with 2000 words of new material and that feels bloody great. But what about editing, sculpting those words so they're good and they flow? The gang talks about it today as well as

- The Differing editing styles: layering vs sculpting

- Different editing passes

- Why Mark Twain was a very sneaky man regarding his editors

- Why it can sometimes be best to finish a work before starting to edit it

- and why Matan will be greeted in limbo when he dies  by the unbaptised children of his deleted manuscripts.
