Trim, Trim, Trim Challenge: Update 7

My goodness, how many updates are there going to be?

Today, I beat the word count yo-yo and have snitched this baby down to 98, 070 words. I never thought it would be possible. And I’m not even half way through. What am I down? 5000 crazy words or something like that? Wow.

If you’ve been disbelieving about your word count, go take out everything ‘that goes without saying’ and see where you end up. Hopefully with a nice, tight story.
