The Smarter Artist Show: Episode 6 - Kill Your Darlings

In this episode of The Smarter Artist Show, we talk about killing your darlings. When do you decide enough is enough on a project? When do you call it quits on a series you're writing? The complexity of selling stories. Do creators owe their audience a proper ending?

And Dave horrifies us all with the movie he wants to make someday. Two words: Rom-com.

All this and more in this week's Smarter Artist Show.
