Once you start rewriting, you're not able to stop. With each draft the fundamental banality and worthlessness of the material becomes more evident even as its vitality and spontaneity are drained from it.

Nothing matters at all. Survival is the coin of the realm. Time is a river with banks.
Barry N. Malzberg
Events, I say to the Captain, events control our lives, although we have no understanding of them nor do they have any motivation. Everything is blind chance, happenstance, occurrence in an infinite universe anything can happen. After the fact we find reasons.
