Recently I have discovered the pleasure of deleting. I write something, and then I make it shorter and shorter. I get rid of the long words, look for the shortest possible way to the point and leave it at that.
It feels like a cleansing of the soul. Rewarding.
With e-mail it is the same thing, but I hold back for fear of being rude. Wrong.
Best of all is to delete the lot. No copy saved. Nothing.
This piece escaped by a wisker. Pity.
