De nada. I think. (As it was, I had to back up one more stanza, only reworking it instead of throwing it out. Because, of course, I'd set up the transition to the wrong POV, and had set up a different one.)
I find conscious thinking about anything but the mechanics of form pretty much useless for what anything I'm drafting, but essential for revisions. I find discussions about them only marginally more useful than reading other works and figuring out how the authors did that, however. That it's any more at all is because they get me thinking about things in ways I hadn't thought of.
