I've done it but yah, it's hard. I comfort myself by putting it into a word doc and dropping into my dump files for the that manuscript. Comfort because there is just something that make you cringe when you think of really deleting the whole section. And you're right, most times it isn't something you keep. :-)But I need that comfort step anyway.<br /><br />Happy writing!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929885462293344093.post-80702154788220964122012-07-30T05:47:09.461-07:002012-07-30T05:47:09.461-07:00Oh my gosh, that would be tough to do for me.

Like Dianne said, you might want to use some of that later. <br /><br />One of the things I love about writing is when you dare yourself to change something that seemed vital. It feels a little bit like bursting a hole in a dam... all the ideas come rushing out and the story flows a lot faster.
