I just cut 2,000 words from my work in progress - that i'd just written. I feel like I plunged a knife into my gut. I've got slow parts in the book so far, but this was needless. 'gratuitous mind numbing detail'. so out it went.

http://aprilfoolsnovels.com (aka april fools) has 16 registured users. of which 6 have posted a goal. not good odds at all. I've a feeling its going to flop this year.
