Original draft

Sarah was very nervous and her hands were shaking a lot as she walked into the room where the meeting was about to start, and she felt like everyone was looking at her even though she didn't really know if that was true or not.

After line edit

Sarah's hands shook as she stepped into the room. The meeting hadn't started, but already she felt every eye on her, whether or not that was true.

Editor notes

Cut filler qualifiers (very, a lot, really) to sharpen the sentence rhythm.

Replaced a stacked clause with two shorter sentences for better pacing.

Kept the character's uncertainty but let it land without over-explaining.
