“Learn to enjoy this tidying process. I don't like to write; I like to have written. But I love to rewrite. I especially like to cut: to press the DELETE key and see an unnecessary word or phrase or sentence vanish into the electricity.

I like to rephrase a drab sentence to give it a more pleasing rhythm or a more graceful musical line.
