I just cut 500 words from my #WelcomingWithDignity essay - I have 22 to go to get to the necessary submission word count. ๐ I know I'm almost there!!! ๐ #AmCutting
I lost the 180 words I needed in less than an hour, without losing any ideas. ๐ฅณ
Now I need to tweak the one thing the reader wants me to do. We are having dinner in 40 mins & I'll see if I can make that happen, even if I have to cut more tomorrow. #AmCutting #AmRespondingToReaderReports
My first stage is super micro mode. I'm getting rid of every spare word I can before I go into cutting sentences.
"the extreme violence of slavery" (5 words) -->"slavery's extreme violence" (3 words)
If I can cut 250 I may have space for the reader report's suggestion. Otherwise: more #AmCutting!
I need to address one conceptual suggestion from the reader reports and somehow end up 140 words under where I was. Not the biggest challenge ever but I'm pressed for time & need to get to my syllabus. So we'll see how much I can advance before dinner. #AmCutting
