Listen "Killing Darlings and Other Editing Techniques"
Episode Synopsis
Every writer is a murderer. We kill words. We kill pages. We kill entire chapters that once felt untouchable. And the worst part? We call them “our darlings.”
“Killing your darlings” is one of the most famous pieces of writing advice, and one of the most brutal. It means letting go of the lines you love the most, the ones that made you feel clever, poetic, maybe even brilliant. Those are the exact words most likely dragging your story down.
