In reply to A. Setliffe. Yes! I can think of a spot right now that needs to be taken out of my book. But I love it dearly, and can't stand to delete it. It shall, instead, be relegated unto the file.

In reply to bekindrewrite. Hah, yeah. I have a few of those. It helps dull the pain of the editing knife, too. When a passage or a chapter I am fond of needs to go because it just clutters the story, it goes to those files too.

I’m the same way. I actually have a file titled “Deleted Scenes” in which I dump any big chunk of stuff I delete. Too hard to let go – when maybe there might be something usable in there!

Hi there! I came across your blog via Scribbla, and wanted to check it out! There’s great stuff in this post. I must admit, sometimes writing rubbish is better than writing nothing, simply because there may be “something” that you can use – and you may no even realise it at the time. I write musicals – and sometimes it’s really hard to “dump” a section of music that you’ve worked on. I like to relegate it to a “bottom drawer” – there may be another project that it suits better. Of course, there’s always crap that will forever remain crap, but something is better than nothing! 😉 Thanks for the great blog!

In reply to Sonia M.. Man, I've never heard of it before. If you guys have any other cool writing links, shoot 'em my way!
