I have done a lot of work today on my editing.  I dumped about 200 words so that I could make scenes read better and more smoothly.  The good part is, I also added another 1,079 words.  All important words until an editor reads it and says dump this or that.  Oh, I hope not.  I am more than half-way through my first edit. Yippee...

Aspen, the mean girl in the story is wrecking havoc on a nice picnic.  She's calling her cousin fat and slapped another girl's hand when she offered her sliced cucumbers.  

What will happen to Aspen in the end?  Who knows?  Oh, I guess that would be me since I've already finished the story and I'm now editing. lol...
