100 Days to More Brilliant Writing: Week #8

Monday, August 10 - Sunday, August 16, 2009 * Days #36-#40


This week, cut a scene (or a section of a scene, if you're so brilliant that you don't have an entire scene) that doesn't advance the plot or really belong in your story.

Thanks to Heather for the brilliant 100 Days illustration.

Ha, yeah, you sure can! :o)

Hmm... cutting cutting cutting. I prefer to just revise rather than cut.

Sigh.

I cut a paragraph, but then added three. Does that count? This might be considered counter-productive.
