[stylist] Plot input.

[Judith Bron]

Try to objectively look at your manuscript as someone who doesn't know about 
your topic.  Then look at those parts that hold too much detail and will 
probably send your reader to sleep.  If you are writing fiction, your reader 
is reading for a balance between a topic they might have not known 
previously and entertainment.  Entertainment sells.  Details, if delivered 
in an unintimidating manner, are the gravy of the literary journey. Judith

First I write it, then I go through and say, hmm, don't need that, can't
use that, out with that.
How else?
