So, I have a whopper of a manuscript that I need to pare down to a lean, mean publishing machine.
I've found some great writing tips through Writers Digest (Writer's Digest) but implementing means being comprehensive. Right now, I have to hack and slash a lot of the weeds cropping up in my narrative. Like tearing off a bandage, you gotta do this fast, no regrets.
Why did I include that circular conversation? Hack!
Why is this character here? Slash! (and I don't mean lemons)
What is the meaning of this mixed metaphor and tortured simile? BURN!
All that effort got rid of 2k. Pray for me, literary fellows. I have a lot further to go!
