Two-Thirds and More Than 10 Percent

I'm on page 220 out of what's now a 330-page book and I've cut 45 pages so far. That's more than 10 percent of my original manuscript that's now gone.

I'll admit, some of those 45 pages aren't lost forever, just cut and pasted in a separate document, just in case I see a need for them later on.

Still, it's been fun to fall in love with certain parts of the book again, kill the parts that aren't necessary and edit the rest like crazy. I'm looking forward to being able to read the story without stopping constantly to make corrections.
