Same. I have a series I am writing where I try to make an essay under 200 words. When I finish my first draft, it is usually 500 words. I can't help myself. Then I lop off whole paragraphs and sentences that seemed so important. Then I cut more. The finished product is usually better but I think I personally prefer the original. Of course, I only do this radical editing on my 200 word stories, the rest just sprawl out there.
