Cutting e-book
 
     Cutting. Is there a more painful part of all writing than having to remove the wonderful parts you've created that just don't work toward making that writing as immersive, accessible, focused, or clear as it can be?
 
     Is there a facet of writing that writers hate and fear more than cutting their darlings? A process more reviled than removing their wonderful, beloved words that grew from within them and spilled, sometimes indecorously, over their pages?
 
     Probably not. 
 
    Cutting comes at this from the hard-nosed perspective of an editor shaded by the soft, squishy heart of a writer. I understand your pain, and I feel it too. But what's got to go has got to go.
    The book:
 
Discusses misunderstandings about cutting
Describes methods to cut specifically for things like flow, clarity, or word count 
Reveals techniques to remove the top 4 types of verbosity
Delves into purple prose, research, AI tools, and so much more
Teaches how to kill your darlings without cutting too deep or hurting too much
 
    The book includes a thorough, thoughtful glossary at the end.
