I love this so much! I'm going to remember this term as I write. I faced the same dilemma as you when I wrote my semi-autobiographical novels....trying to figure out how much to include and what to leave out over repeated drafts. As you so eloquently wrote, you eventually realize that, as with any creative endeavor, you have to keep experiment with combinations until you find what "tastes" right to you!

Thank you, Kiersten, I'm leaving for 3 weeks to Paris and my beloved Italy in 2 days. I still don't have the howtos on substack under control. When I return! In the meantime, forgive my lack of response. I also posted something in Notes to explain.
