"Kill your darlings. Sometimes you’ll write a phrase that is so elegant and so well crafted, it jars with the rest of your writing and pulls the reader out of the flow. So cut it. As Stephen King once put it: ‘Kill your darlings, kill your darlings, even when it breaks your egocentric little scribbler’s heart, kill your darlings’."
