Short #story for my #writer's group assignment is done!
...but a rough draft, as I have to go in with an ax and ruthlessly #edit it down from 5,936 words. 😆

I cheated on my desert mage with my escapee from a psych ward, who now remembers he has a daughter. And I think I realized that the reason I'm struggling with the desert mage story now is because I have to kill someone who I really like.

Focus creates power. Removing what the story doesn’t need sharpens pacing, clarifies intent, and forces what remains to carry real weight. #WritingAdvice #AmWriting #RevisionTips #StoryCraft #KillYourDarlings #FictionWriting #DraftHappens

I've spent so much time writing on my laptop that I'd forgotten how much I spiral and document thoughts while revising on paper. Good to see I haven't lost it. #Revision #WriterLife #KillYourDarlings

📚 10-Day End-of-Year Book Countdown | Day 3
Biggest Surprise of the Year
#KillYourDarlings by #PeterSwanson.
I went in skeptical… and walked away completely mind-blown. The ending caught me off guard in the best way and lingered long after I finished the last page.

Black and white comic fight scene page next to a paper cutter.
Ye olde comic pages becoming scrap paper for new comic ideas.

A moment of silence, I pray of you, for the 1600 darlings cut so cruelly away to pare down my story below 5,000 words. #shortstory #edit #KillYourDarlings

I'm learning how to kill my darlings as I edit Novel 2 - it has an embarrassment of hooks and X-factors - the only trouble is, it's WAY TOO LONG. I cannot wait to see this novel's shiny svelte self when I'm done!

Currently trying to knock another 10,000 words off my novel to get it under 110,000 (which is still too long).

4) Another highlight from #gamescom is #killyourdarlings by #strayfawn Studio. It looks super cute, the art is fantastic and I like the story of befriending "your darlings" in prison to complete gladiator fights. Deffo recommending it store.steampowered.com/app/3824760/...

Writing is hard. Sometimes you have to #KillYourDarlings.
But I refuse. Instead, I lovingly cut & paste my beloveds into a separate document, from where they may or may not be brought back (or...um...remembered!).
Anyway, #AmWriting ✍️⌨️ #AcademicSky last Friday before the semester starts.
