Killing Darlings
In writing, the term "kill your darlings" refers to a writer's ability to cut content—even the content they love the most—to serve the overall story.
In fiction, I think I'm okay at doing this.
For example, did you know there's an entire draft version of Starbreaker where one of the main POV character's is Wanda?
Oh, the stuff she shows you! And her hilarity is its own brand.

“It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”
― Mrs. Goose, Her Book

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

It's okay. You don't have to worry about putting stuff out there to read. No one's read the chapter I posted. I think they largely go out into limbo unless you force people to read and comment, so we can post away ;)
But that means putting stuff out there for everyone to see! That's a little scary. But you're right. We should make it a requirement for our group to post. Maybe part of what we do when we're all together sharing our stuff is to encourage each other to post the things we liked best about their writing that month.
Mission accomplished!
Woohoo!! It is always a good day when I help lead someone to the Buffster. Personally, I can never get enough of the musical episode "Once More, With Feeling." One of the best hours of television in history if you ask me. The pilot is okay as well though... I guess. :-)
