Working my way through Dragon Summer last night. Found a few paragraphs that I did not like so I deleted them!
That may not sound like a big deal, but for me it is! I very rarely have the guts to delete something. I try to save or salvage everything. I think that is a flaw in my writing. I have to be willing to say: "It's garbage! Just delete it!"
Last night I deleted a whole chapter. And I think I have a lot more to delete. You know you can drag some parts of a story out for just so long...
Back to the writing. I'm watching "Enter the Dragon" with Bruce Lee on AMC tonight. Best kung fu movie every made!
Cheers!
