More About Writing

I've been writing since just after eight, because today's the deadline. Once you get started, the problem is that you want to write about everything in the entire Universe and it's really difficult to focus on just the thing that you are supposed to be writing about. Today's work has been like topiary: clipping the edge to a good shape that makes sense. A whole two paragraphs have been thrown away (gulp!) but that was the right thing to do, because losing them hasn't made any difference to the narrative. I'm still a bit worried about repetition, but I think the editors will help with that.
It is time to stop, I know that. I'll send it off later.
