Hi friends. I completed a new draft this week. It’s a big one, which took me about three months to finish. It was based off a draft I had submitted to my editor in mid-October, which she gave me notes on a week later. The version I submitted to her was 92,000 words. The draft I just completed is 75,000 words. So, somehow, I cut 17,000 words from this book.
I thought the ending said “good luck with your cats” and I was like “wow yeah editing is kind of like herding cats... oh wait”.
OMG - so powerful. Thank you so much.
