It's like trying to describe a gem to someone who has never seen a gem

Or someshit

[tlbodine]

For the last goddamn time...

"Kill your darlings" means "if something is holding you back, get rid of it, even if it sounds pretty."

That's it! That's all it means! It means if you're stuck and stalled out on your story and you could fix the whole block by removing something but you're avoiding removing that thing because it's good, you remove that thing. That's the darling.

It does NOT mean

That you have to get rid of your self-indulgent writing

That you should delete something just because you like it (?wtf?)

That you need to kill off characters (??? what)

That you have to pare your story down to the absolute bare bones

That you have to delete anything whatsoever if you don't want to

The POINT is that you STOP FEELING GUILTY for throwing out good writing that isn't SERVING THE STORY.

The POINT is that you don't get so HUNG UP on the details that you lose sight of the BIG PICTURE.

Good grief....

Also, you don't have to like, delete it from existence. Keep a second document full of the Darlings. You never know when you'll need it later.

[earhartsease]

yes, your killed darlings are ripe for rebirth

[eldritchsandwich]

compost your darlings

recycle your darlings

Darlings who don't fit this narrative go into the use later folder

[razehider]

you might think that when photographing an insect like this Brachycerus barbarus your priorities should be nonsense like "capturing diagnostic features" or "making the photo look good" but actually the only thing that matters is getting a look at its stupid bulbous nose

this is much easier than it sounds, as the weevil mysteriously dies upon contact with human hands but appears to come back to life when no longer handled. i'm still researching the hypothesis that i have the ability to revive corpses by placing them on the ground
