Trim, Trim, Trim Challenge: Update 3

Status: still trimming…

I am down to 101, 105 words. Problem is, most of the queries I have out there say the story is 105, 000, or 104,000 or some other now-inaccurate number. Oh well! I guess, they will be in for a pleasant surprise if they make a request and the document is a few thousand words shorter.

Over on Upstart Crow’s blog, today’s post discusses ways to trim up the fat–cut the excess, flowery prose (my words, not theirs–they are more polite). Give that a whirl and see what you have left.
