Yes, the edits were definitely fat trimming more than anything, I know it was a 30k removal but that’s still significant.
The slashes around the please were supposed to be two so it turns into italics, so I’ll fix that soon. The ‘recalibrate’ has received a partial edit but at 400k, I’ve got to take it section by section (I’m also working on the ‘rather than’ thing because I’ve used that about 900 times in a 400k chapter and that is just too much, same for the word ‘settle’ - I’ve done up to Anwar’s scene and no further), I’ll fix the Mattie intro when I do the please, and I’ll have a look at the scene that’s similar to Scarlette’s to see if I feel right changing it.
Thank you so much for this!
