@paninid "Writing is rewriting" was the motto of one of my English professors.
When a small room was provided in the computer center (it was the 1980s) for students doing word processing, someone put up a sign with that motto. Someone else changed it, crossing out the word "rewriting" and writing in "editing."
'Breaking the peace came the shoes of an eight-year-old girl. She cut a perforated wake through the pebbly puddles, dashing headlong for home, her mud-spattered school pinafore flapping like a dirty dish cloth."
Damn. There's quite a lot of fairly decent stuff in my trunked novel. One day I really must revisit it and fix it...
Just rewrote an entire chapter changing the POV from third to first person and everything that wasn't working suddenly clicked into place. Sometimes you just gotta go with your gut and make that big change.
