Slash and burn

I'm more than a month behind with my revision goals. Aside from my outside editing work, I accomplished little in June. Progress hasn't been much better this month. In slash in burn mode, I've cut more than 4,000 words in the last week. I expect to slash another 5,000 or so with ease, perhaps more. It's difficult to measure progress as I've been adding and deleting text in the same pass--hardly the most efficient method, but it's progress of sorts. (Word count is a poor measure of progress; it's just the easiest to gauge.)

It'll be at least another week before I shift to rebuilding/remodeling mode....
