Wielding the knife.....

[mirandashell]

I'm editing my MTS and have just realised that I have to cut one of my favourite scenes. It just doesn't fit anymore. But I love that scene! It has moments of comedy, it fills out one of the characters and drops a good red herring. But....

It just doesn't fit anymore.


BUGGER!

I did that once. Sucks, huh?

[mirandashell]

Oh yeah. Like a industrial hoover....

Man I hate stuff like that. Save it in another file lol. Then you're not really killing it, just moving it. ;)

[mirandashell]

It will stay in my first draft file. Where I shall go and look it every now and again. Just to remind myself that I can actually write....

*Does the same thing* :D

I had to do this yesterday. I created a file called "Darling" and put it on my desktop. I'll visit it a couple of times, weep and wail and gnash teeth, and then pitch it in the trash.

(Shh. Don't tell, but it really wasn't very good anyway.)

I sympathize. :Hug2:

[mirandashell]

Thank you.

I keep thinking 'maybe it will go in that bit...' but deep down I know it won't.

Sigh.
