Never having even tried to publish anything, perhaps I should not opine.....but......... I firmly believe the secret is to have a firm idea of what you want your end to be, most specifically what emotional impact or truth you want to leave your reader with.......and then clear out everything that doesn't lead them toward that end. I hope that makes sense.

This in itself belongs in an English literature lecture. fabulous writing
and if you slash with your scythe as well as this is written, you will end with a master piece.
