Words: -600 on "Mortal Clay, Stone Heart" and almost done with the first revision pass, but I'm still 600 words over. Think I need to ask the editors how hard that maximum word length in the guidelines is...
600 sounds like it might be within wiggle limits. If not...sounds like that is about the size of a scene. Have you shown this to anyone else yet? It can be easier to wield a scalpel on someone else's child, than on your own ;).
