There are some dangers to getting very involved in a project. One of them is losing track of time - or day of the week (watching the Australian Open, which is about a day ahead of my time zone, hasn't helped there). But, I think it's paying off.
Draft #3 is well on its way, with two pages worth of material already cut out. Unfortunately, those two pages were eaten up by two scenes that needed to be added to make my protagonist a little more proactive. So length-wise, I'm right back at 27 pages. Ah, the joys of editing...
On the bright side, there are plenty of places where my prose can be tightened. I'm a rambley writer by nature (yeah, I know, shocker there), which makes it a matter of how much rambling can I cut without destroying all personality in the piece.
Yeah. We'll just pretend that's as simple as it sounds.
Alright, back to work I go!
