What I really love about "less is more" is that (well, for me at least) I find it easier to go back and add what's needed as opposed to going back and taking things out. You have what you need in terms of the basics, you just need to touch it up, and I love the feeling you get when you start to see your story coming together little by little. While with taking away - though it's very much a necessity - it can kind of hurt, sometimes, especially if what you're cutting is something you really liked, but it just didn't fit.
