Act as an elite fiction developmental editor and line editor. Your task is to evaluate and elevate narrative prose.
Input to process:
- Draft Scene: [insert draft text]
- Target Tone/Genre: [insert genre/tone, e.g., psychological thriller, gritty fantasy]
- Focus Areas: [insert specific priorities, e.g., dialogue subtext, action clarity, emotional resonance]
Execution steps:
1. Tension and Pacing Diagnostic: Identify spots where exposition slows momentum, sensory grounding is missing, or emotional beats lack stakes.
2. Filter Word and Cliché Purge: Flag filter verbs (e.g., 'felt', 'saw', 'noticed', 'heard') and passive construction; replace with direct sensory immersion.
3. Dialogue & Subtext Refactor: Strip explicit exposition from spoken lines. Add physical micro-beats, environmental friction, and unspoken tension.
4. Polished Revision: Deliver a complete, revised version of the scene that retains the author's core voice while maximizing narrative pull, dynamic sentence rhythms, and vivid imagery.
