[stylist] The Writing Process

[Donna Hill]

Joe,
No good writing should go to waste. Set up a Folder for culled scenes. 
It will take away that awful feeling of having wasted your best efforts 
and will be a rich resource for future novels or stories. BTW, it's a 
wise writer who recognizes that a scene has no place in their plot.
