[stylist] When pruning leaves gaps

[LoriStay at aol.com]

Yes!   When I type a story from a previous manuscript, I always have to be 
careful not to cut anything out until I've reread the entire piece, or I have to 
put it back in because something important hangs on it.
What I find is that I sometimes have to throw out half the story if something 
doesn't work, and just go on from there.
