58,495
That's the number of words I am at! Can you believe it? I am so excited!
Connie, I won't need to chop chop.
Katy and Jody, I won't need you to wordsmith after all...unless you really want to!
And I have to thank Shelly, for having the solution that totally eluded me that got most of this accomplished.
Sometimes it takes an outside set of eyes to pick up the obvious. There were two sections at the end of each chapter, one called WHAT'S A MOTHER TO DO and one LIGHTENING THE MOTHER LOAD that were redundant. Well, nipping and eliminating 66 of those made a hug difference.
There are still a couple of stories that are much longer than others, and I will "find" my 495 words there, and maybe even then some...
I am off to lunch with a friend to talk about community drug programs, then a run, then chauffeur extraordinaire to my girls.
Later! Just had to share the great news on the editing! (Some of you were praying, I know you were...)
