From Yevgeny Zamyatin
“Crossing out is an art that is, perhaps, even more difficult than writing. It requires the sharpest eye to decide what is superfluous and must be removed. And it requires ruthlessness toward yourself — the greatest ruthlessness and self-sacrifice. You must know how to sacrifice parts in the name of the whole.”

Then I am definitely an artist.
I just went and yanked abotu 6k from the current WIP. It just wasn’t flowing.
Now it is. I’m still a little behind, but at least it’s flowing.
