Yes,...Terri,<BR/>Your raise some interesting questions. Yes, I find it extremely painful to cut out sentences I absolutely love, but which everyone and their neighbor tells me doesn't work. If enough people tell you the same thing, I guess it's time to bite the bullet and rewrite or toss out the line.<BR/><BR/>Since I write about the Middle Ages, I do have to add a certain amount of description, to draw readers into the time period. Description is not my favorite thing to write, though. I much prefer writing dialog.
