And I wanted to know how many unnecessary pages I've cut out. A year ago, my manuscript was 380 pages. After multiple edits and proofreads I've managed (drumroll please...............) to add 40 damn pages, bringing the grand total up to 420.  Seriously? I've taken out entire scenes, for Heaven's sake! How did I ADD a single page, let alone 40?!?!? |
Did you change the fonts?
Or is like my jambalaya? Take out a pound of chicken but add two pounds of other stuff without realizing it?
