Stupid thing is retrograde

There is a lot of talk about word-count, and that is just fine, but I don't participate much in that, because I am one of those who reviews yesterdays work before adding new work. My writing builds up like rock candy on a piece of kite string. (Or a pearl in an oyster if you want to be all grownup about it.)
