84K. Yes, it's true. I've cut 8k words. But I just had to do it. One chapter of 5k went nowhere. Honest. Some parts of it I lifted and stuck where I think they'll be much happier. Over the weekend, I did a read through. I'm pretty happy with it overall, but that chapter, sigh, just had to go. But the ghost elements are working really really well, the first half is great, and I'm getting the 2nd half to match. Anyway, I spent most of Monday in depression over wretched writing and wishing there was a way to keep all the stuff I got rid of (Maybe if I just wrote it better....) But NO! Wrong. If it ain't working fix it. No cosmetic fixes, turn it upside down and sideways but fix it, or delete it. So, I deleted. But the good news is I had an utter flash of inspiration about how this will have a really great ending that ties up the natural and supernatural. That TV, he is really a bad fellow. Is he going to get away with it?
