To Cut, or Not to Cut...

...That is the question.
Whether tis better to labor through the unsavory scene
and make do with what is there,
or to take scissors to the page
and oppose my draft ramblings, to cut...

I ended up cutting it mostly, but not before I wasted most of my editing time reading ahead. That's ok. I needed... uh, a better look at what was coming ahead. Yeah, that's it. And since I cut, I went ahead about 20 pages anyway. I worry my novel isn't exciting enough, but "così è la vita," I suppose.

Yes, I do feel a little bad for doing yet another parody of the most famous Shakespeare lines ever. I couldn't resist. Probably won't happen again... for a while.
