I edited out about an hour's worth of writing just last night because I realized I was describing a scene I want to save for much later in the story. It wasn't really a waste of time, since I'll just use it again when the time comes. I cut & pasted it into another doc I've got going just for that purpose.

Profound thinking. I'm constantly editing, cutting, pasting, and keeping a "perhaps" journal.

It is good to hear from kindred spirits.

Pose that one to "Questions" -- it's an interesting idea.
