WRITING: Still Editing

Per gentle suggestions from The Grim Reaper, I am slashing at sentences, eliminating words that mean nothing, phrases that may sing, yet they are merely refrain.  It has dawned on me that if I saved into story all that I’ve cut, that with the amount of repetition I’d likely have another second story.  But that is a useless muse since it should merely be marked as a poorer rendition of the intact original.
