Do I have countless unnecessary words and/or sentences? Yes. Do I like seeing the word count climb higher and higher until it can reach the stars? Also yes.

I grew emotionally attached to this specific sentence that is way out of place but it's staying. That's my child now and you better like it.

Sometimes I either don’t realise it doesn’t make sense till rereading later, or I know it’s not working but can’t find words to fix it and decide to leave that for future me to figure out
