So it’s often hard to tell, as in this case, where the problem originated.

Sometimes when you talk to editors of books like “Hope’s Boy” that are way too long and purple, they tell you, “The manuscript was originally twice as long, and you should see what I cut.” And, unfortunately, you believe them.
