I just finished trimming my newest and my count is at 127. The story is a cyber-thriller and much of the material is expository so the audience can understand what the heck is going on. If I start cutting more, I'm afraid I may lose that connection with the reader as it is about a master computer hacker who works "off the books" for Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Response Team. He discovers a computer worm inside a video game that is designed to shut down the oil pipelines inside the the U.S. and tries to stop it.
So, should I leave at 127 or try and get it down further?
Thanks.
