I was writing a class with a particular theme. It was a beautiful theme and every time I read it I wanted to stand and salute and then sit down and reflect upon my brilliance.
And then.
Then at one point, within one paragraph, I saw a loose end and began pulling it.
Surely only one paragraph needs fixing, I told myself, but when I looked up there were many paragraphs standing in line and waving cautiously.
Not that I object. The new approach is the correct one. It is stronger and smarter but as I merged paragraphs into a rough triage, I could see that some fine writing would be on its way to the Great Beyond.
Sad, but it shouldn't have been there in the first place.
