That is a good post, thanks for the link. It offers a much more realistic rephrasing of the old "kill your darlings" advice. That advice was always about trying to avoid filling your book with stuff that doesn't add to the story, but on its own the short phrasing is misleading. The Blake post shows how to look at things on a more practical level, keeping the story moving but still leaving room to be more adventurous where it fits.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm very fond of people who made their dream come true and it's really inspiring for all of us struggling to become someone in this world.
