Re: Arguments or criticisms you hate

[(Anonymous)]

"Kill your darlings" when misapplied. In the right interpretation basically it means you shouldn't be so smitten with you favorite characters or a pointless scene that you cannot do what's better for the writing.

However I've seen it used for an argument/belief that it's literally wrong to keep anything you may find enjoyable or funny in the story. Anything you love? Has to go.

It ignores a few things. Yes some people may not care for humor or one liners. But why is that a reason they should be avoided. Someone may find it boring? Yeah well people will certainly find a a book that's dry as paint because the writer didn't do anything enjoyable ever or indulge in any humor.

As a reader I like books that attempt humor, and books that have some fun things in them. If I find a book boring to write, I imagine the reader will find it equally as boring.

Really it's just an extremist application of a sound theory. The same with the "wish fulfillment is always bad and wrong". Moderation,people.
