One thing I always ask myself before I start a scene is "What does this add to the story? What happens in this scene to justify me putting it in?"
If I can come up with an answer to that, I put it in. Sometimes the answer is as simple as "its a beautiful image or piece of poetry", which is good enough.
Other times I've been forced to (reluctantly) drop whoel scenes because they added nothign to the story. (sighs) My precious, precious fight scenes... so many that never got to be properly drawn out for 10~20k like I wanted...
