mystery

How is it that whenever, and I mean every single time, I have to shorten an article I've written (argh, did they mean max. 8000 words including notes and references!), the result is always an improved article? I've just cut nearly 2000 words in one of my articles, and it reads so much better now. I guess this means I should definitely work to keep number of words in my final dissertation down to a minimum, right?

i know someone who's written about 200.000 words in her 1st thesis draft adn my god is she struggling to cut it down.

i think writing is a process, and i suppose our prose gets tighter as you get better.

hopefully anyway ;-)
