I think any author can tell you stripping a novel through editing removes many scenes and other aspects. This is such a heart and gut wrenching process. When I was editing and revising A Long Way Home, I had scenes that killed me to remove. I would sit here and ask the simple question "Does this add or take away from the story?" And rightfully so, I struggled to answer.
In the spirit of NANOWRIMO, I am providing a look at some of the scenes and letters removed from A Long Way Home. Please look forward to them during November! Feel free to ask questions or share with me something you had to edit...or a scene in a book where you questioned the author's inclusion!
