I'm excited about the growing number of pages that I've cut from my manuscript. I'm up to page 124 in the printed story and that puts me on page 115 in my edited document. More signs of progress!
Every now and then I make notes in the journal I carry in my purse about where I need to tighten things up when I read the edited version of the book. Of course, I'm editing of top of the handwritten notes in my manuscript as I type the fixes on the screen, so I'm cutting and tightening as I go anyway.
I can't wait to get to the end of this technical process so I can read the story again and smooth things out without making heavy edits (if that's even possible). I'm sure I'll never be 100 percent happy with it, but I'm hoping for at least 98 percent.
