The Write Channel Creative Writing Quote of the week episode 1 Kill Your Darlings
This is my very first Write Channel quote of the week video. This time around, I've chosen the quote Kill Your Darlings.
This quote is variously attributed to William Faulkner, Oscar Wilde, Anton Chechov. Lots of really famous writers. But, actjually, the best attributation we can find for this is in the publications of a less well known Arthur Quiller-Couch
The quote is 'Kill your darlings' or 'murder your darlings'
Not meant literally- this is the idea that if you find there are sentences or passages in your writing that you are particuarly impressed with yourself for writing, you should strike them out.
