It should be notedPay no attention to Dean on this point. Real writers inevitably find editing removes about a third of what you originally wrote. For most of us it's a winnowing process. Leave it to Mr. H to use it for story inflation.
this is the case with writers who are over wordy and tend towards the superflous. Consice writers, like myself, find that the real writing takes place after the initial idea is on the page.
