Snip, snip...

I've just cut one of the bestest bits from my novel. Three thousand words from chapter one. Three thousand words I've poured over, changed round, added to, taken out, put back in and now - boof - they're gone forever. Their crime? They didn't move the plot forward. But they are saved in my brilliantly named 'Stuff cut out' folder, just in case.

So only thiry six more chapters to edit.

Feel a bit shaken up. I better have a cocoa.

Tell me how you edit. Can I copy you?
