I mean this with as little judgment as possible, but I think some of y'all have a warped notion of what "obscure" looks like when it comes to video games. I routinely get comments on my game rec posts to the effect of "wow, I can't believe @prokopetz knows about my obscure fave", and when I look up the game in question on Steam to make sure I'm not missing something here, it's like

Y'all, these are not "obscure" numbers. These are "very slightly off the mainstream" numbers. If you're going to call anything on Steam obscure (and that's a stretch right from the jump), at least let it be something that's been on the platform for a decade and still hasn't racked up enough user reviews to generate a rating!

For the last goddamn time...

"Kill your darlings" means "if something is holding you back, get rid of it, even if it sounds pretty."

That's it! That's all it means! It means if you're stuck and stalled out on your story and you could fix the whole block by removing something but you're avoiding removing that thing because it's good, you remove that thing. That's the darling.

It does NOT mean

That you have to get rid of your self-indulgent writing

That you should delete something just because you like it (?wtf?)

That you need to kill off characters (??? what)

That you have to pare your story down to the absolute bare bones

That you have to delete anything whatsoever if you don't want to

The POINT is that you STOP FEELING GUILTY for throwing out good writing that isn't SERVING THE STORY.

The POINT is that you don't get so HUNG UP on the details that you lose sight of the BIG PICTURE.

Good grief....

Y'all are amazing. Reblog to hug the person you’re reblogging from.
