I asked J to read over my paper for comments. As I'm busy looking through his redlines, I came across a set of brackets around a sentence and the note "consider revising".
Sigh.
This is a sentence I have revised. At last count, about five times.
He's right. It stinks.
Sigh.
I'll try to revise it again. I think it's a point I need later.
Sigh.
Maybe I'll just kill it here and bring it up later.
Sigh.
It's too bad I'm not using a typewriter. There used to be a somewhat visceral satisfaction in threading the paper back into the typewriter and typing xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Watching x's appear on the screen isn't nearly as much fun as the wham-wham-wham of the key on the platen.
