I'll be more than happy to have you slash away, my friend! I'm doing some heavy slashing of my own at the moment, though, thanks to Esther's astute observation that I really don't need this chapter. It's made me realize that there are a lot of things in this book I don't need, but I've kept them in there, editing the hell out of them with each revision, just because I wrote them in the first draft. Instead of polishing them, I needed to toss them and bring the things that happened in the book in a different way, one with fewer words and info dump chapters.
So if my &#(%& computer will let me work on it I can hopefully trim this baby down a lot without losing anything. (And the way the computer has been acting that's a big "if!") As soon as I reach the point where I think I've got it, I'll send the file along to you!
