Trim, Trim, Trim Challenge: Update 8

Okay, so someday I will be done this. Really. I’m just slow because I am analyzing each and every word. And today, I blasted 870 of them away. Gone.

I started at 103,669 and now find myself at 97,091. Not bad, eh? Who says you can’t trim that manuscript down with a chainsaw? I mean, uh, keyboard? And I am halfway through. It’s only taken me two weeks. (I only worked 9 of the 14 days though, does that make it seem better?) Yes, I might be slow, but it will pay off. It will. It will.

(And yes, I feel a bit ridiculous posting update 8. But a promise is a promise. I said I’d do daily updates (didn’t I?) and so here I am, keeping my word…even if it takes me 20 updates to get to the post where I say, “I’m DONE!”)
