Editing Pains

As most of you know, I'm almost done my rewrite of Overlord, Book 4 of The Great Man series. Yesterday, just as I finished my daily 3 000 words, bringing the current word count to just over 106 000, I came across a very large section that was now entirely redundant. I could salvage none of it.So with a sigh, I highlighted all 6 000 odd words of it, and pressed ctl+x. That's 6 000 words gone.
