“The advice to ‘kill your darlings’ has been attributed to various authors across the galaxies…and Mister Heist hated them all.
Why teach young writers to edit out whatever it is they feel most passionate about? Better to kill everything in their writing they DON’T love as much.
Until only the darlings remain.”
– Brian K. Vaughan, writer, in Saga #17
