"All editors pale in comparison to father time". -where is my post on this.. How when you are close to an event.. Traumatic or glorious or otherwise.. You can fill up pages and pages and pages talking all about it. a whole book! Move forward 5 years.. Less pages -a few chapters. Move forward another 5 years.. Only a few pages within a chapter... Move forward.. A mere paragraph now of what once was a book. ..to a sentence. To ultimately: A bullet point. This is a natural, organic process. (Vs. Imposed) Both experienced and seen by me too many times to mention. But "WOW!". I've just recently re-read I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS and am in the process of reading MOM & ME & MOM. (Thank you Chris!). ..and! The organic editing that has taken place! ..the way long passages in CAGED BIRD have been... Summarized; reduced; filtered; simplified...(I'm searching for a specific word here..) And when you consider how much writing/speaking Dr Maya Angelou has done between these two books.. It is why I believe ... Well, -it is certainly fascinating to let life.. Father time, And the writers themselves.. Rewrite their own stories without any professional editing at all. Natural; organic vs. Imposed.
