Hi Chris, enjoying the interview. You sound like you really enjoy your rewriting.

Every sentence in a spec I send out, or a job I do, I check for every sentence to have a real reason for being there. If not, I relish cutting it.

Hey Quiet Act, Thanks for the kind words. I do enjoy rewriting and that fact helps me take it on faith that I can get a sloppy first draft, for my eyes only, down on paper. As long as I generate pages I know there should be time to clean it up (sometimes way-the-Hell up) later!

That's unusual, isn't it TQA? I think that once you make the story your prime objective, it becomes easier to kill your darling.

Hey Sabina, we all enjoy protecting our darlings....but I think secretly we enjoy hacking them to bits as well!

Chris Borelli says, this draft is for my eyes only. Hope you don't mind if I steal that as a writing mantra Chris.
