I've committed myself to reading at least one chapter a night in my first novel so that I can finish the latest draft and print it out for a friend to read. And now I have less than 100 pages left to edit.
But.
I have decided to go back and cut the character that I have been thinking about taking out of my book for the past month or so. I love Jillian. Maybe I can work her into a future book, but I'm afraid there's no good reason for her to be in "Strings Attached." I even found one scene where I can replace her with another character and no one will know the difference.
It makes me sad to take Jillian out of the book completely, but I look forward to seeing how many pages I will cut by deleting her scenes. It's probably not as many pages as I think, but at this point every little bit helps.
