Bob Seger’s crooning echoes melodically in my mind — and heart. As a writer, these words from the song “Against the Wind” can be taken quite literally.
Plenty of deadlines — articles due, pages to be written, edits. Some are self-imposed, like deciding to finish an essay before getting to go outside. When editing our work, we usually end up slashing more than we add. “Kill your darlings” as the experts say. There’s not much point
