1. I am going to make my Monday deadline.
2. On Monday, when my revised manuscript is due, it will be there.
3.My printer is spitting out the revised pages as I type this.
4. All I have to do is read my manuscript and see if it still makes sense after cutting 16,103 words in twelve days.
5. Did I mention that I’m going to make my deadline?
Wow, 16k words in twelve days! Isn’t it amazing how much we can continue cutting after we think we’ve cut all we could? Now that it’s Tuesday, you must be relaaaaxed.
