Write about coffee.
Write about dogs.
Write about murmuring starlings.
Write about money.
Write about love,
just be sure to kill your darlings.
Brenda Warren 2015
If you’ve read Stephen King’s book, On Writing, you understand the importance of killing your darlings.

Because I’ve not read King’s book, I am assuming that ‘your darlings’ are those lines and words you find yourself writing repeatedly. The ones that come automatically, without thought. I have a list of them, and have been thinking I should use the sticky notes and permanently attach it to this screen. It would be a long one. I like the poem, the brevity of it and the good clear advice.

I like this a lot, Brenda. I haven’t read that book. It is hard to come by certain books here. There is always kindle, though.

Your poem is what I like to read. Spare, shrunken poetry is what I like to write, too
