We creatjves are all inspired by various great literary works . As a part of polishing the final draft, I totally get removing written stuff and editing. We are our own judges of what's apt, so it reflects the ideal piece you envisage it to be . But what of all the literary ideas that have been removed ? Al the exhausting mental Labour sacrificed ? I reeled off four verses but still not satisfied with the first verse . Each time, I flesh it out . I like it, but my mind alerts me & pushes me to reconsider new ideas . I like to write verse in a specific way . I like to write in a specific style. It's an ardous process of balancing various forces . Strange how we make these judgments
