Challenge! Kill Your Darlings Week at SavvyAuthors!

[RJ Garside]

Kill Your Darlings Week is here. Are you brave enough? This week’s challenge: Cut 1,000 words from your WIP Then share what you cut and why. Was it a beloved scene that slowed the pace? A beautiful sentence that didn’t serve the story? A whole subplot that had to go? Post your cut lines (or summaries) in the thread. Bonus points for dramatic before/after comparisons or confessions of how much it hurt. We’ll feature the boldest edits!
