Yesterday I did a big rewrite on Chapter Seventy!  It was so much fun!  When you’re in the midst of the horrors of editing, getting a chance to just write can be a great relief.  It was hard in some places, and I’m sure it’ll need some refining, but I really like how it came out.  Now it’s less repetitive and makes more sense.  I call it a rewrite, but to be more accurate, a lot of it was just rearranging the sequence of events.

My document had stood at 707 pages, but with editing I had managed to cut it down to 704.  But with this rewrite, it’s back up to 708.  I expect I’ll be cutting out more, but I also think that some upcoming scenes are going to be elaborated, so in the end I’ll probably wind up with 707.
