The Great Diminution, Part 3

After a long interval of work on other books, I return to my project of trimming my novel to 115,000 words.

Recap:

6/30/08 137,000 words
7/31/08 129,947
9/24/08 125,847
3/19/09 124,562
3/24/09 124,282
3/26/09 123,989
4/2/09 123,410

The goal may be too ambitious. I'll be pleased if I can get within striking distance of 120,000.
