Wow, probably a million things. LOL.BR/BR/Good luck on the final stretch of NaNoWriMo!
You too! BR/Jen
Wow, I love this post. It is sooo true for me. What did I let go of? About 300 pages. Seriously. After some major reworking and replotting of my book, I had to dump 300 pages. It was so painful, but so worth it. Because the book I have now is so much better.BR/BR/I don’t know who first said it, but a phrase that I call upon time and again is, “Kill your darlings.” All those scenes that you’re so tied to but seem to be tripping you up…they have to go. And when a writer finally has the courage to kill her darlings, then she’s truly letting the story come to life. BR/BR/~ Weez 🙂
Amen, sister. BR/BR/Jen
What do I need to let go of? Too many things to list. Ha! However, I can tell you that I’ve cut characters and, after the initial grief, I’m so much happier with the ms. Good luck!!
