Dusting the weave and seams of a story
We had carpets cleaned last week and are still putting things back into place. Most people would never see the dust, but we know it's in places like the find weave of baskets and along seams of electronic cases. A little time outdoors with a soft paintbrush takes care of most of it.
A fine piece of fiction sometimes has to be made finer by clearing out its dust. The basic piece may be robust and well put together, but there may be tiny bits of fine grit or dust that could be removed for refining and for giving an even better reading experience.
