Juliette's comment reminds me of something I was asked once when I bemoaned the necessary cutting of an entire 20-page scene: "If it wasn't necessary, why did you write it?"<BR/><BR/>That was a bit boggling--apart from the scene being funny (but ultimately weightless), it was a pleasure to write--and I think I finally responded with, "I thought it was necessary at the time."<BR/><BR/>Not for the story, as it turned out, but the writer sure as hell got something out of it.<BR/><BR/>S.
