#WritersCoffeeClub (Sep) 28: Do you practice "kill your darlings" in your work?
I haven't yet gotten to the point of editing, where that advice would be practicable. But I have this suspicion that the "darlings" in description are likely to come at points where something magical and special is happening, and so they'll serve as signposts for readers to pay more attention.
So I may need to cultivate those bits, not kill them.
