The Cut

It's a beautiful day here in Florida and I'm working lowering on the word count for my crime novel. My original draft came in at around 115,000 words. My second draft came in at around 108,500 and I was very confident with the end product. But feedback from agents suggests more work is needed and the challenge is welcome. I'm currently at around 103,700 words with no plot or character cuts.

On a side note, I'm also re-working my query. Or I may just burn it, bury it in the backyard with the other bodies and start over. Either way, I'll make it work.
