A Less Than Encouraging Start

Chapter one has been edited now. The whole process lasted about five hours and involved culling many beloved turns of phrase from the manuscript. I cut until I felt I could cut no more.
Former length: 4498
New length: 3946
Words vaporized: 552

I was hoping for something over 1000, but this will have to do for now. Once I finish the whole book I will review and determine whether a second round of cutting is necessary.
