WASTE NOT WANT NOT

Sometimes it becomes necessary to cut a sentence, a paragraph or even a whole chapter. I used to agonise over getting rid of material which I thought wasn’t working. Then I had a Baldric Moment and came up with a cunning plan. I created a word document to hold all those little gems I’d spent hours crafting and polishing. When I was editing Chapter Two, I thought one piece of text was a bit OTT and cut it out. When my editor read this particular passage she wrote on my MS, ‘Doesn’t she care about her best friend?’ This is one of those times when I’m glad I save instead of delete. After a quick cut and paste job the passage now resembles something my editor would approve of.
