[stylist] sestina stretch

[EvaMarie Sanchez]

I was just working on a sestina when I noticed that I had been carried away
with the words. I came to a stop and went to the top to start counting
stanzas. Somehow I had completely lost count and had nearly doubled my
required length. Oops!
I felt the safest thing for me to do at that point was to close it out and
return to it later when it will be less a thing of passion. In this way, I
hope to be able to look at it critically and do what must be done. Perhaps
I will find two sestinas there. I did not even do a read through at that
point.
Has this ever happened to any of you?
