Reader:
Hello! Welcome into the week. May yours be productive, purposeful, and true.
Let's structure this entry the same as the last, namely
raw notes ⇒ Reader: "???" ⇒ explication by scribe
Herewith, therefore: raw notes.
These notes are drawn from the "workpad" I run during writing; the "humble scribe" at the top is a tag that alerts me that this is (rather: could be) an entry herein -- an entry herein, as distinct from the mess of pieces of dialogue, macro structural ideas, micro structural questions, and whatever just notes all related to Emmy and her ongoing story, which otherwise clutter that workpad up quick.

humble scribe
o g*ds i cut prince i cut prince i cut prince!
following the text! like a curse! i cut prince!
am i going to cut him, completely forever?
yes.
when he appears, he appears.
like a quest.
+ also, the refrain: it's right. not just right, but right: solves problem down the line; makes things better.
if only this took less time!
cutting prince: something clicked — cutting out everything that is not A-plot; A A A
not because there is no worth in the fullness
and the geeking out, "what about joy aristottle" holds
sort of
because TELLING THE A-STORY IS HARD ENOUGH
and if that fails then…honestly. then it's all masturbation. [the gods displeased; something]
separate
the stuff you cut — it's not all bad
e.g. "Harder at altitude, in fact: gusty Wind."
this is useful! and it's not, like, an awful sentence.
so…why cut it?
