However,...Being scared is nothing to be ashamed of. However, you don't need to worry about editing yet. Don't worry about what belongs and what doesn't, because you are still uncovering your story. Keep working on it, and once the story is told you can go back through and find the bits of bones that don't belong. Authors are often guilty of repeating themselves- some parts of the theme or story are so important to us that we say them over and over. We can take out some of the repetition. But again, worry about it later. Find your story first.

I already only put in information that I feel is important- whether that is to the plot or to define character relationships or the culture or whatnot. The thought of taking things out because it's "not needed" makes a lump rise in my throat. It makes me nauseous. I suppose I'll eventually have to face it and suffer through so that my book is worth reading. But I am scared and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
