Spent a couple of hours tonight rereading my novel from the beginning. Instead of adding words, I wound up chopping stuff out, pruning out unnecessary little phrases, and more or less tightening it up. I now have a lower word count than I had yesterday, but a little stronger story. I can't afford to do this too many times if I'm to make my self-imposed deadline on this baby, but I'd say the work is a little better off for it.
