I have today (Friday) off work because I have to work Monday. So, I cut deadwood today and went from 56K to 49K. Yes, it hurt, I confess the numbers matter, but now I don't have any of that stuff I wrote before the story and the h/h started taking shape. On the other hand, I haven't yet written any of the chapters I've been mulling around. But I think now that I've got them married, they need to get out and about. GML is supposed to be the romantic here, convincing PE that there is, indeed, such a thing as love. Must get son to bed. More work.
