Many of you already know this from FB, but my agent has suggested cutting 100 pages. You know what that means right? Not so much bloggy in the next few weeks.I got the email last night (Mr. Bliss was kind of 'there' to share my dread), so first thing this morning, I got up and attacked the scenes with a sharp knife -- before they had a chance to fully wake up. I find murder to be fairly easy when you're victims are groggy, so, you know, next time you gotta kill something. . .

So any of you writer guys have to make major cuts like that before? How did it make you feel? Did you cry? You can tell me. I won't point and laugh. Honestly, I'm not much of a cutter, myself. When I edit, I tend to add more stuff than I cut, so I guess it's good that I have somebody like Mr. Ellenberg guiding me.
