If you had to, would you rather:

Kill your absolute favorite scene, that one you love but maybe doesn’t move the story forward?

OR

Cut your entire first 10 pages, the intro that sets the stage but feels a little slow?

Vote now in our poll and tell us why in the comments! We want to hear your reasons, battle stories, and maybe some writing heartbreaks.
 
So what do you think? I personally would rather cut the entire first 10 pages. I tend to start off slow and go a bit overboard with the point of view character's slice of life.

I would struggle to kill my absolute favourite scene.

What do you think?
