I have a complete revised draft of The Goblin Emperor . . . 20,000 words over budget.

This is what one might call a mixed blessing.

Sympathies. <Avoids looking at the 165K first draft...> If you end up cutting bits here and there, save and share the outtakes with your loyal fans? We'll enjoy them, and that way they don't just vanish from existance.

Seconded! I loved the deleted scenes from DoL, both because more Felix, Mildmay et al. = always yay! and because of what they showed about the writing process.
