Going through it again, trying to find places to make it shorter. I'm about 1/4 the way through and have cut out about 8000 words. Not bad, but not on pace to cut out the 100k words needed. After this go through, I'm going to take a small break from it and read a different book before I go back through it again. Maybe fresh eyes will help pull it all together. I'd really like to have it out to my readers by the end of the month. *crossing fingers*
