We'd Love to Chew with our Mouths Closed (But We're Choking)

March Updates: Merch previews, daddy problems, and more.

---

There is a saying in writing to “kill your darlings”. It's when you are forced to cut a certain line, scene, character, chapter, idea etc. from a piece of writing because, even though you love it, it isn't working.

At Chill Subs, we're more like a DMV of darlings.

Our ideas wander in all half-baked and lovable, and we can't help but tell them to take a number and promise we'll get to them.

For example, we want to develop auto-generators for submission templates, literary bios, and cover letters. Toss in your info, and poof! downloadable .docx formatted to industry standards.

Another is our Chill Subs republication program to give works from defunct magazines a new home on our website.

And BADGES, oh sorry, darling, don't worry, we see you. Badges will be used for writers to award kind nominations for different litmags.

And we do not mean darling in the pejorative sense, but in the sense that we're truly in love with them all and refuse to cut them out of our story.

So, what to do?

That's what March is all about for us. What can we do to make sure nobody (probably Business Daddy) has to come through our over-stuffed room of ideas and take them away, Old Yeller style?
