... does that tell you something about your paper?
More specifically, I am trying to cut a paper down by about 1,500 words(!) to make the journal's word limit. It's not that I think that every word is a pearl of wisdom, but I am really struggling to say what I need to in the words available. Does this happen to everybody, or is this a sign that I am trying to do too much in the paper?
I acknowledge this is possibly a strange question and the answer is probably that it depends. But I am really fascinated by how other people work. I often have this issue (too long) and I wonder whether it's 'normal' or whether I am not sufficiently focused in terms of my contribution. Hope I'm not abusing this forum (which I totally love) in order to ask the stupid questions that I can't ask in real life.
