6:50-9:05 Deletions and Revisions

• Removed three characters who were ultimately pointless
• Deleted 3-4 chapters that are unnecessary now that another character will die at the mid-point
• Revised three more chapters
• Started with 67K, ended with 51K...thinking it will be NaNoRe-WriteMo this November
• Laughed my butt off at my own nasty notes - "This is DUMB, cut it!"

9:15 Done for the day....must think and re-group for next cluster of revisions.
