Wow, Amy, congrats!
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Because books.
Thanks, everyone! It's still a little unbelievable, but very awesome.

I'm feeling a bit discouraged and confused at the moment. I don't know how much to describe things, some people read it and it seems fine, other people read it and say there's way too little. Meanwhile, I still want to cut at least 20,000 words. My scenes are starting to feel like a house of cards, it seems like every one I think of cutting causes problems down the line because of interrelations. Ugh.

Do you need to cut the words or do you just want to? You don't want to reach an arbitrary number and find out you're standing on half a foot.

Need to. I'm at 147,000 words at the moment. Down from the 178,000 of the rough draft. I've been tempted to make two versions, one for personal edification (since I doubt I'll sell it) and one for marketability (since I might as well give it shot). 147k is way too long to market.
