So I got a little side tracked over the last few days after spotting some horrible writing somewhere in the first 10,000 words or so. The word count got sliced up somewhat in the reshuffle, which is disheartening, but life goes on. It’s definitely easier to take out than to put in. When I began this journey the opening few pages were far too wordy. I think every writer who tackles their first novel wants to come off sounding like Shakespeare but in the end most end up going in circles and getting lost in the fray of fabulous vernacular. Cut to the chase as it were. Nearly at the three quarter mark. Nearly !!
