Dear Whichever God Rules Over Novelists,

What do I have to sacrifice to you in order to guarantee that my next novel will not require me to write thirty-six percent more material than I actually use? Lemme know, and I’ll get right on that.

Your obt. servt.,
A Very Tired Writer

    You’ve already gotten a good deal, as I normally require a sacrifice of forty percent excess words (and a small furry animal). Stop complaining.

      Could I bargain you down to twenty-five? I mean, we used to have a deal even better than that, but these days I’m willing to settle.

    Congrats on finishing your revisions! (Even if it resulted in a large kill-file, heh.)
