Earlier this week I was working on a scene in which I'd add a sentence,
mull over the next sentence, and delete the last 2+ sentences.
Repeatedly. This is going to be a "fifth time's the charm" book all the
way through, I can tell.

Earlier this week I was working on a scene in which I'd add a sentence,
mull over the next sentence, and delete the last 2+ sentences.
Repeatedly. This is going to be a "fifth time's the charm" book all the
