One Last Edit

I'm giving my book one last quick read-through before I convert it to a read-only document and burn it to some CDs to give out at the San Diego Writer Conference in case I meet an agent who's interested in reading it. It may be wishful thinking, but it's better to be prepared than to say, "Let me mail it to you ..."

So, I'm in the process of cutting more from the story. I think it makes it a better book, but that doesn't make it less painful. I'm holding on to scenes that I love but have to cut in the interest of brevity. The book is still probably far too long, but what can I say? I'm prolific like that.
