Anything that suggests how the sentences write themselves would be greatly appreciated!

So yes, leave it in.

Leave it in - then then index can have 'Despair, intellectual' and 'Will, impairment of'.

It’s too bad you have to cut so much. Would love for the biography to be as long as you want it to be.

Yes, it is really a drag. Though I also hope it will make the book better in some ways?

I also have felt this sensation, and would love to have come across it in a book. Please keep it!

I can't tell whether you should or should not leave it in, but the account of the sensation you describe is great, having felt that way myself to many times. Yrs. EP
