Faulkner* suggested that to write a good book you must "kill your darlings."
I can't bring myself to kill them. Instead, I gently extract them, bundle them up, and hide them in a folder on my hard drive. Then cry a little.

Some of the below scenes found their way back into their novel in a different form, others simply weren't necessary to move the story along. The book doesn't need these pages, but I love them anyway.
*Faulkner wasn't the first to say something like this, but he was the first one I heard about. And then Stephen King made the phrase famous. I resent them both for drilling this into my brain.
