It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

Deleted 5700 words from the novel before breakfast.

Somewhat easier than it sounds as I just zapped everything not in the core Points of View. Surprisingly only needed about 100 words to patch over the deletions.

I was initially resistant to losing part of it, about 1600 words, as it completes a secondary character's arc (one of the bad guys), but I figured out a way to feed all that into the epilogue, in a way that actually makes the epilogue work better, so bye bye wordies....
