"Murder your darlings" actually means something more specific than that. It doesn't just mean not to be attached to passages you like, but to be especially suspicious of them.

Interestingly, that's the 3rd variant of the phrase i've heard in as many days. Perhaps those using it should be obligated to rephrase it ;)

using -> ignoring

obligated -> doomed

rephrase -> repeat

huh?
