I'm alway...I'll call you a working-slacker. I'm always surprised at how much I can cut from a story doing what you're doing. I can usually trim a couple hundred words from a 3rd draft without breaking much of a sweat. Fortunately we work in words and not wood or stone. If we delete something we need to keep, we can put it back and no one will ever know.<br /><br />When I first saw your count of deleted material (7K), I thought, wow, there's a story or two in that many words. Imagine a story composed solely of the words you cut. : ) Good luck.Jeff Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08374806472853391788noreply@blogger.com
