I've axed down to 80,044 words. Book agents and publishers have made me obsessed by the word count. I feel as if I'm on the bus in the film "Speed." If my book touches 80,000 words, the bomb is triggered and if I fall below that number, the bomb goes off.
I'm editing now for grammar, spelling etc on the computer. Can look forward to tense shoulders, stiff neck, aching back, heavy head...lots of long hot baths to ease the muscles.
Thankfully, it's Juba tonight. Will dance it all out. Need the physical to combat the cranial.
