So i edited Chapter 18 of #WIPSundered and cut 89 words, finally bringing it below 145K words total.
Except now I’m at Chapter 19, and part of the checklist of changes i drew up before starting this edit was to write a whole new bit at the start of this chapter.

So, scorecard for the past 24 hours or so:
Cut 2K words from first chapter, possibly more, added around 300 new into with it. Now halfway changed, but with the reduced length I’m gonna have to merge chapters 1 and 2 together to fit properly.

So, added the scene that I felt was needed to #WIPSundered... added another 1000 words to it.
Screw it, will edit the rest of the chapter tomorrow. Kinda pissed that I erased about 4 days worth of editing word-cutting with this. Still, was needed.

Alllrighty, finished with Chapter 1 entirely now. Took more than an entire day, but it's done.
Now to look at 2, 3 and 4 to see how to divvy them up and smoosh them together so they fit better and have better flow. A problem for tomorrow.
