  1. I'm encountering the same scary thing in my current total rewrite of my work in progress: characters are being left on the cutting room floor. It's fine, I know it's going to be fine, because I've done this before.

    Have you ever cut or been advised to cut characters? Did you do it? Why or why not?

  5. I discovered that when I cut characters, it makes the other relationships so much clearer, but also more precious. I write , so I don't want to have a cast of thousands when my reader could be between 8 and 12 years old.

  9. I did, and it worked out fine. The story got better. I cut the first 2800 words of my manuscript & more or less started at chapter 3. Yeah, it was scary. But my agent told me the beginning was still too slow, and she was right. (I love Arturo, who I hope makes it back into another story of mine one day.)

  13. I'm going to talk about the hardest thing you might be asked to do to your manuscript -- cut characters. (A thread). I swear I never would have tried this with my debut FRIEND ME if I hadn't been about to go on a week-long writing retreat where I had the time to try this crazy thing.
