Yeah! Cut a total of 5,500 words from The Carver. Yeah me! It started out as 124,500 and ended up 119,000. So it's now ready to go - or as ready as it'll be this time around. Lots of unnecessary talking/explaining this and dialogue tags. As well as a few scenes that had no point. I'm so excited to send it to John, and can't wait to talk to him about the revisions/who we're going to submit it to. I'm even more excited at the thought of selling it! :P But I can't mail it until I find a box to put it in, so I'm heading over to Staples on my lunch break to look for something suitable.

Went to bed early last night since I felt so bad, then woke up at 7:15 this morning. I hate being sick :( Tonight I might meet a friend for dinner and free ice cream (B&Jerry's is running some sort of anniversary special) before small group. And I might even try to get some word count on Magpie. I've been so busy revising that I haven't had time to think about it. We'll see!
