I just fixed a poem of mine that's been not quite right for over a year by changing a bunch of pronouns in a profoundly odd way... but now it works. Which makes me really happy. But talk about a bogus way to feel productive -- a five word edit.

I've found that the hardest thing for me is not being afraid to cut (or even, really, to think to do it). Cut cut cut. Cull the crap that's just not working and try rewriting it.

But it is a nice feeling when it *does* come together. Even from "just" a five word edit.
