The cut

I get an idea. Few words, a sentence or two. I start writing. After few lines it's clear it's going to be shit, a novel. Explaining, examples, luckily not many metaphors, as my English level does not allow it.

The first spit is lazy mode. I talk until everyone falls asleep and I can leave. Done. Mind just keeps going until it feels everything is covered.

The second distilled version requires more work. No pressure to be right or understood. No fillers. No saying the same thing three times. And the title.

Long version serves the writer. Short one respects the reader.
