Sounds like your editing is done, must feel good.
But did you specifically target 87k words? Why that number?
(We've just been watching 'Monk' and, if you know the show, you'd know Monk would insist you took it up to 90k, but preferably 100k)

No, I didn't target 87k and that's why I'm nervous. When Lethe was up at 185k my target was getting it down to 125k, and then as I kept cutting I told myself I'd stop at 100k. But I kept going, all the way down to 84k before building it back up a bit. I'm hoping my Beta readers can help me identify some holes or gaps that need filling with some new writing.
