Revision Work

Working on dialogue today, rather than slash-and-burn deletion - but the word count is still going down slightly, as I am able to nip off bits here and there.

Perhaps the lager cuts should feel better, but this seems somehow more "important" work in a way.  In this, I am affecting tone, not merely removing bulk and weight, and even so I'm still keeping things moving in the right direction.

The bit-by-bit can be more fulfilling than the wide-swath cuts, because it requires so much more attention.
