> I think your writing is best when you are not editing.

L: Me too. There is a balance between writing, editing and over-writing and sometimes I get bolixed listening to people and then overwrite. A story I showed you a long time back I worked on further and then showed around and got myself all fucked with it and had to stop. I recently, last month, went back to the clean original and have maintained a nice feeling about it. Good writing, like good management, should be invisible and if not invisible at least it should be good writing. ][<
