Hee, I'm glad I'm not alone! Maybe that's why we mesh so well.
Once I've cut something, I need to cut it irrevocably, lest it creep back in. It's hard enough for me to be ruthless about cutting.
Ha, I have the same problem (as you probably know. :P) I find that the draft system is good for me because I spend such a long time trying to word something properly that even when I cut, there's always a sentence or turn of phrase that's still useful. Or something cool that happened with my last DS9 fic - I was able to incorporate something I loved but had to cut from one of my other fics, which I fortunately still had thanks to my handy drafting!
