I\'ll be putting this one away for for sure. Daniel Sun, 26 Apr 2009 22:01:22 +0100 http://www.writeandpublishyourbook.com/writing/editing/murder-your-darlings-/#josc1961 I don\'t get it. So all the good stuff I write should be cut out and the crappier parts should be left in?

You want the whole thing to be tied together. If you have one section the stands out (either because it\'s better of worse) the reader will notice and it will change their experience in a negative way. they will be pulled out of the world that you have spent so much time and energy creating. Don\'t Keep the Crap. You want a good novel, but don\'t keep the section that\'s better than the rest of book either. Hope that helps. Heather Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:45:39 +0100
