I had a blast posting my deleted scenes!  It brought back good memories of what I went through in my research and writing Burn on the Western Slope.

 

Because I had been so involved in posting my deleted scenes, I decided to take some fun time and research different movies and their scenes.  Nowadays you almost have to have the BluRay version of a movie to watch their deleted scenes, and it’s something my husband and I enjoy doing when we love a movie enough to buy it.

 

In my research, I found a few fun facts about deleted scenes:

Scenes can be cut, replaced, censored, or edited for many reasons.  The main reasons probably are because of length, marketing, or because it disrupts the book (or movie) in some way.

 

So tell me, what do you think of deleted scenes?
