Well, in my "flow" moments, kinda like your "flood" moments, I have a lot of triage afterwards too. I always consider my first draft my "scorched earth" copy more or less. Case in point. I was writing out two characters who, while not pivotal to the plot right now, add some key information that will play into the story later. I even added a third character as a helper, but the next scene where they're shown, he's suddenly awol and just vanishes, never to be seen again, which is a huge plothole. So I'll have to go back and fix that, or else just leave him out alltogether. But, alas, that's not all that uncommon with my initial drafts, as they're more there to get the story out, and the cleanup stage fixes all the collateral damage I leave behind in the process. ^_^;;
