I already worked out a couple of parts I could delete, including a whole chapter. Now I've got only about 3K to get rid of and I'm trying to achieve as much of that as I can by rewording unnecessarily long sentences and getting rid of certain details. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's been in this situation before.

Cutting 5K+ words shouldn't be a problem, unless you are in love with every page. About two years ago I submitted my first novel to a Novella contest in Canada and also had to cut over 10K words. It seemed easy at first .. just delete and delete. But then I wanted this part to stay and that part to stay. At the end I cut enough to have a novella ... and naturally didn't win. Last time we talked about singers from Australia. Moving around on YouTube I stopped at Jack Vidgen, a teenager singer who won Australia's Got Talent .. a great singer.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372161360756471399.post-47868864518371893792012-11-23T18:20:32.811+11:002012-11-23T18:20:32.811+11:00Well from what I've gathered, the Novella comp...Well from what I've gathered, the Novella competition is a prize, but not a publication, so I still need to submit around for that.

Two weeks to cut and polish to perfection - no problem, I'm sure. <br /><br />As for me, I'm back in spin mode, waiting for comments to come in on one ms, went back and did some tweaks on another, along with a synopsis for it. I've redone my query letter on this one, and feel like I'm *this close* to having it really done. Anyway, congrats again!JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372161360756471399.post-11109497646888347352012-11-21T19:58:02.207+11:002012-11-21T19:58:02.207+11:00SPELL MY NAME RIGHT OR FEEL MY WRATH!
