Your editor wants you to cut a favourite chapter. How do you react? I cut it out and save it in a folder among all the other favourite chapters. Rereads the book once my hurt pride has calmed down a bit. If I still agree with the editor, it stays out. The chapter might find its way into something else, in one way or the other. Maybe it will be the start of a new, short story? But I'm not sacrificing the overall story for one beautiful chapter. #writersofmastodon #author #writing
