Shhh! Don't tell my kids, but it's 2:29 PM and I am working on my book! My brain is so much clearer in the middle of the day. Hopefully if I can accomplish a lot, I can go to bed at a decent time tonight.
Official word count is now hovering around 119,800! WOO HOO! I knew I had to at least get below 120,000. I'm finishing up chaper six and still have about 25 chapters to go before I bump into the corrections I've already made at the end. Moral of the story? Word count is dropping rapidly!
I never realized how much I "overwrite" but this last round of editing has been very educational. When I printed out my first draft for friends to read, word count was about 126,000. And that was after some pretty heavy editing, so I shudder to think of where I began.
