Day 45: Anton Chekhov’s remarkably simple advice was this:

"“If a gun hangs on the wall in the first act of the play, it must be discharged before the end.” You have to “look” at the total work with that piece of advice in mind and cut out anything that doesn’t help the story complete itself."

In other words, every word in the story has a purpose to be there. Our real life there are many things going on, and they probably are not exactly all related. But in the story, every move and every event has a purpose to be there. Every word said leads us to the evolution of the story.
