#WritersCoffeeClub Do I practice 'kill your darlings'?
I've not gotten to editing stage but I know I would. I've written whole chapters that I know won't exist in the next draft. I've written lines that I've thought are clever, and been happy with in that sense, but have known don't work. There's a short story on my desk that I'm going to completely rework because I know there's something in there that's good. Nothing is precious to me!
