(no subject)
Editing takes place in red, yellow, green, and blue at this stage. Red is "cut this immediately", yellow is "get someone else to help you with the decision about whether or not to keep this bit", green is "keep this but rephrase it", and blue is "fact check".
Removing only the red parts I have taken 1072 words out of 8700-ish words so far.
Rounding up, if I take 1072 words out of every 9000 words in this 145,060-word book, I will be left with 127,000-ish words, and that is still about 14,000 words too long.
Also I had to add a few words.
Editing faaaaaail. How do make book shorter?
