Well, it's about 3:00 a.m. and I have just completed my initial reduction edit of Chapter Four. As I suspected, I didn't cut nearly so much here as in previous chapters. There was so much going on in this chapter which is pertinent to what takes place later, both in this book and in sequels.
I enhanced my Excel document. The Chapter Titles are there (albeit abbreviated in some cases), and I included the number of pages each chapter did/is using.
Chapter Five is one of the shorter chapters, so I'm not sure how much cutting I will be able to make here. In it, the reader learns that Abrin has his secretive and sneaky side, and that he isn't above 'bending the rules', or circumventing them entirely. My concern here is that, after cutting, I won't have enough information to make a chapter. I guess I'll see.
