Writing Excuses Episode 3: Killing Your Darlings

The Thoroughly Unauthorized Summary of Writing Excuses Episode 3: Killing Your Darlings
From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2008/02/24/writing-excuses-episode-4-killing-your-darlings/

In which we learn that sometimes little darlings need to get the hatchet because they just don't fit anymore, that keeping them on tap for the right time and place may make it easier to cut them out right now, and that someone else can see which ones need the axe better than we can. Oh, and Howard spits Diet Pepsi on the table when someone suggests that our first book really should be killed.
( Many details . . .  )

Practice cutting your darlings. Write more, and don't worry about cutting this little darling, because you can always make more.

Only three episodes behind.

Quick catchup for rakugo!

just a quick overview of last week (3/10-15). It was actually fairly important, developing the character of Kosojyaku a bit, setting up a crisis over who will continue the name of Sojyaku, and with a fun twist on the poor uncle . . . but there were a couple of days that felt as if they were stretching things out to fill time.
( Stuff and nonsense )

So we find out that Kosojyaku really does love rakugo (his furosato is rakugo). And Saturday really was a good show. But we've only got a couple more weeks to get everything in!

What about uncle getting married? Stay tuned . . .
