I am depressed about cutting those twelve pages.
I know it's the right thing. I know the book will be stronger. But damn, that was a cute scene. It even had a sea serpent.

Save 'em for the director's cut. Books have director's cuts, right? ;-)
ReplyDeleteActually, I have vague, murky memories of reading Piers Anthony's "But What of Earth" in my early teens and I believe it had a sort of built-in director's cut via a crazy number of footnotes and appendices. But I also remember that reading it was awkward at best.
I guess when you get published as much as Mr. Anthony, you can break the fourth wall as much as you like. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course, I could post deleted scenes here.
But not until I get published, I think.
