#WritersCoffeeClub Ch 1 #28 — Do you practice "kill your darlings" in your work?

Had to look this up, and I misunderstood it. Do I ever excise a superfluous subplot from the main story line, even when I like it a lot? I've done that, rarely. My story composition is generally lean, despite my being rather loquacious. Words, lots and lots of words, usually get cut in revision, not plot lines. I usually understand when I'm going off on a tangent. My "darlings" often become side stories, though.
